Why Study Civil Engineering at Wilkes University?

You’ll work in small classes and laboratories with dedicated faculty who are experienced civil, environmental, and mechanical engineers with professional engineering licensure, and/or who earned the highest degree in the field.

Choose a concentration:

environmental engineering
geotechnical engineering

water resources and hydraulic engineering

Benefit from our hands-on approach to learning engineered systems and design. Use software commonly used in industry even as you gain a strong background in all sciences and take part in extensive laboratory and field experiences.

Wilkes is one of only a few universities in the country that houses both civil and environmental engineers with geoscientists in the same department. This produces high-quality engineers and scientists ready to collaborate.

Many capstone projects involve engineers and experts from outside Wilkes on projects that have a direct impact in northeast Pennsylvania. Our Industrial Advisory Council, comprising alumni engineers and other professionals from the region, ensures that the Wilkes curriculum answers relevant and real-world industry needs.
