Columbia University's Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, offered by The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), is accredited by ABET. The program prepares graduates for successful careers in industry, government, or academia, and cultivates the professional and technical skills needed to solve contemporary engineering problems. Students receive broad-based training in the principles of civil engineering, and may specialize in geotechnical, structural, construction management, water resources, or environmental engineering through technical electives. Core subjects include dynamics, vibrations, structural analysis, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, hydrosystems, and environmental control. The curriculum is designed to provide a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application, with the option to engage in undergraduate research and design projects.
