⁵- CEE 402 must be taken in the last Winter semester.
(+) Environmental Engineering students must earn a C- or better in all courses whose categories are marked with a plus.
¹- If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB Exams, or transfer credit from another institution for Chemistry 130/125/126, you will have met the Chemistry
Core Requirement for the College of Engineering
²- If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams, or transfer credit from another institution for Physics 140/141 and 240/241, you will have met the Physics
Core Requirement for the College of Engineering.
³- CEE may accept equivalent courses offered by other departments in the College of Engineering, with permission of the program advisor.
⁴- At least two of the three technical electives must be CEE courses, including one design course: CEE 428, 480, 526, 563, or 564 (design courses are marked with an *).
Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (Environmental Engineering) - B.S.E. (Env.E.) - must complete the program listed above. This sample schedule is an
example of one leading to graduation in eight terms.
Notes: Courses offered only in the fall term are purple. Courses offered only in the winter term are green.
