Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Business Administration

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Business Administration

Overview

The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Civil Engineering and Business Administration major is designed to educate students in topics of both disciplines and the interface between them. Civil Engineering deals with designing, constructing, and operating systems that include structures, infrastructure, facilities for hazardous materials and their remediation, the environment, people, and the management of associated large-scale projects. A combined degree with the D’Amore-McKim School of Business enables students to develop the skills needed to lead in today’s technologically driven world and integrate entrepreneurial skills into their practice.

Innovative Curriculum

The curriculum combines knowledge in both civil engineering fundamentals and business management principles, developing the critical thinking, creativity, and business perspective required to become leaders in a profession addressing increasingly complex societal problems.

Minors to Personalize Your Path

Students have the option of selecting from several minors to complement their degree and personalize their path. Students can select from minors in the department, in other engineering departments, or from across the university.

PlusOne Accelerated Master’s Degree

The PlusOne Accelerated Master’s Program allows current undergraduate students to accelerate the attainment of the master’s degree by applying graduate credits taken as an undergraduate toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Current students apply to enroll in the PlusOne program. Students attain their bachelor’s degree followed by a PlusOne year to complete the master’s degree.

Students currently earning a BS in Civil Engineering and Architectural Studies can select from the PlusOne pathways available for BS in Civil Engineering students.

Experiential Learning

Experiential learning is the heart of a Northeastern education, combining rigorous coursework with hands-on experience in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field—locally and abroad. With our signature cooperative education (co-op) program, students typically gain six months of work experience integrated as part of the educational program. Both five-year, three-co-op and four-year, two-co-op program options are available.
