Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The Department of Civil Engineering offers a complete undergraduate program to University of Nebraska students on City Campus in Lincoln and Scott Campus in Omaha. Curriculum requirements are nearly identical on both campuses. The goal is to prepare students for entry into the civil engineering profession immediately after graduation or to pursue graduate-level studies. The civil engineer plans, designs, and constructs our transportation systems including highways, railroads, waterways, and airports to connect rural, urban, and industrial areas. The civil engineer also designs and constructs housing and facilities for recreational, industrial, and commercial complexes, which comprise the urban environment. It is the responsibility of civil engineering to minimize air, water, and land pollution and protect the environment.
