Overview

Students in the Civil Engineering - Building Science degree at University of Southern California will learn all aspects of building technology from site selection to building construction, in addition to gaining a holistic perspective of building design from architectural design to structural design, and from the artistic to the functional.

Key Features

It prepares graduates to assume challenging positions in engineering and architectural companies, in the building and construction industries, in consulting firms, in government, in building materials research and development, or in architectural planning or real estate firms.

The program combines architecture and structural engineering and was developed in response to the demand for professionals trained in both disciplines.
