Bachelor of Science - Civil Engineering (Co-op)

As part of the DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science (ranked #35 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for engineering programs that do not offer a doctoral degree), our civil engineering students have access to an extraordinary array of sophisticated laboratory facilities, including the Civil/Environmental Engineering Lab, the Materials Analysis Lab and 16 other engineering and computer science laboratories. But for Hofstra’s civil engineering students, learning does not stop at the classroom or laboratory door. Most participate in our robust co-op education and internship programs, applying their knowledge to help address real-world challenges in businesses and institutions throughout the New York Metro area and beyond.

We are also deeply committed to fostering a welcoming, collaborative environment where students and faculty build strong bonds that lead to the kind of support and mentorship necessary to join tomorrow’s diverse workforce. We keep our class sizes small. Our average class size is 20 students which encourages teamwork and the formation of close mentoring relationships with our faculty. And every class is taught by actual faculty members, not teaching assistants. Our professors are highly accessible and many are practicing engineers who relish mentoring promising young professionals.
