BS Civil Engineering at The Ohio State University

Civil engineers plan, design and build the structures and systems essential to American civilization: buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams; harbors and airports; waterways, railways and highways; water treatment plants; irrigation and drainage systems; landfills; and wastewater treatment plants. This is one of the few areas of engineering in which the engineer deals directly with the public in every phase of the job. Civil engineering at Ohio State offers the prospective student an exciting academic program enhanced by experiences in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.

Faculty: Engineering  |  Study mode: full-time  |  Location: Columbus, OH, United States

What you will study

All engineering students have a similar first-year plan of study, the college core, that provides fundamental courses in math, science and engineering. Civil engineering students take courses in surveying, transportation engineering and analysis, construction management, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, structural design, fundamentals of environmental engineering, and economics and planning. All engineering students also take additional select core courses and general education courses.

Career pathways

As environmental concerns mount, the technological revolution expands and we pioneer into space, the demand for civil engineers will rise. They will design, build and maintain the facilities essential to our civilization.
