Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering/Bachelor of Science in Earth and Environmental Sciences

Lehigh University

This program is designed for students interested in combining programs in two departments: Civil & Environmental Engineering and Earth & Environmental Science, leading to two bachelor of science degrees, one in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering and the other in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Both degrees would be awarded at the end of the fifth year. This program is one of the dual degree programs mentioned in the Five-Year Programs section. The student will have a primary advisor in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a secondary advisor in the Arts and Sciences College. The program provides alternatives for students who may decide not to complete the dual-degree program. Students who make this decision prior to the beginning of the fourth year may qualify at the end of that year for the bachelor of science in civil or environmental engineering, as well as a minor in earth and environmental sciences. Also, if a student decides after two years to pursue only a bachelor of science degree in the EES department, it is possible to complete the requirements in four years. If the decision to work toward this degree is made during the fourth year, at least one additional semester is required to qualify for either B.S. degree. Interested students should consult with the respective departmental advisors to create a schedule of courses to resolve conflicts or if a specified course is not offered that semester. Required courses and major electives for the different EES B.S. degree programs are listed in the catalog entry for EES. Cross-listed EES/CEE courses used to satisfy Civil Engineering Approved Electives can reduce the individual semester and total program credits when chosen to satisfy EES program requirements.
