Bachelor of Science - Civil Engineering

With a civil engineering degree from Wilkes, learners can help design, build and maintain infrastructure that society depends upon daily. They can also develop foundations and structures, public water and sewage systems, stormwater management, and air, solid, water and hazardous waste treatment processes.

Students 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.

Learners can benefit from a hands-on approach to learning engineered systems and design. They can use softwares commonly utilized in industry even as they gain a strong background in all sciences and take part in extensive laboratory and field experiences.

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