Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is considered as one of the best jobs in the United States based on salary, prestige, growth and security. Engineering graduates are in high demand within the regional workforce. The FSU PC civil engineering program not only educates the future civil and environmental engineers who are critical to the economic development of the area but also supports the continuing education needs of the areas’ engineering community.
Upcoming Events
Many of our engineering graduates begin working locally even well before they finish their degree.
The median annual wage for civil engineers is $84,770 with the top 10 percent earning more than $138,110.
Students enjoy non-crowded state-of-the laboratories and classrooms with high quality teaching and individual attention.
What can I expect from the Civil Engineering Program?
Students can tailor the curriculum to their interests and career goals with two majors available — civil engineering or environmental engineering — leading to a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. The fast-track option provides a four-semester program to degree completion. All the CEE classes are scheduled only two days a week, making the commute to campus much more cost-effective and efficient. Both full and part-time schedules are available. A faculty advisor will work with students to create a program of study that meets each student’s unique needs, and the program culminates with a final presentation of a senior design project.
