Undergraduate Course Requirements

As a civil engineering student, you are responsible for making certain that degree requirements are met, courses are taken in proper sequence, and prerequisites are satisfied. Details on prerequisites and sequences are available in the Ohio University Undergraduate Catalog. Please read especially the parts entitled "Guidelines and General Information," "The Russ College of Engineering and Technology," and "Courses of Instruction."

Advising - Your advisor is here to help you. Prepare your class schedules for registration carefully, and then discuss your plans with your advisor when you pick up your DARS Report. You may also discuss questions or concerns about required courses with the Assistant Chair of the Civil Engineering Department.

Required Courses - Civil engineering majors must complete all the required courses and a collection of the technical elective courses.  Due to the upcoming change from Quarters to Semesters all students are strongly encouraged to seek assistance from their faculty adviser when choosing classes.  The following flowcharts are intended as a guideline.

• Technical electives flowchart for Fall 2008 and beyond - PDF

Design Credits and CE Electives - All civil engineering students are required to take at a minimum one senior capstone design course and six CE electives. The electives may include other senior capstone design courses.

Other Degree Requirements - In addition to satisfying the specific curriculum requirements outlined above and earning a minimum of 36 quarter hours applicable toward your degree after entering the civil engineering program, you must also:

• Have a 2.0 (C) average on all courses attempted that are applicable toward a degree
• Have a 2.0 (C) average on all courses attempted in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology that are applicable toward a degree
• Have a 2.0 (C) average on all courses attempted in the major area of study that are applicable toward a degree
• Successfully complete a course by the end of the third enrollment in that course. "Enrollment" includes classes in which WP (withdrawal passing) or WF (withdrawal failing) grades were earned
