College of Arts and Sciences

Students interested in majoring in civil engineering should take the following courses in the following sequence. Although variations of the core classes are possible, it is recommended that students take all the asterisked (*) courses (required for the major) as suggested below. Students should always check with the program director if they have questions about a proposed variation including taking any summer courses.

A grade of C or better is required in all asterisked (*) courses (required for the major). Students are responsible for checking prerequisites for any course.

Transfer courses at the 3000- or 4000-level are only accepted with prior advisor approval.

Year 1


Fall Semester


Spring Semester


Summer Semester


Students must take a basic science class which is not physics or chemistry. For instance, General Biology I (BL 1250/1251) at Rockhurst would satisfy this requirement. (This additional course is a requirement of ABET, the accrediting body for this program.)
