Undergraduate Admissions

UC Berkeley offers the premier education in civil and environmental engineering. Our graduates go on to become leaders in the engineering profession, accomplished researchers, decision-makers in government agencies, and in some cases to pursue careers in business and law. Our accredited B.S. degree program is founded on knowledge in the sciences and mathematics, engineering principles, engineering design, and the relationships between engineered systems and economic and social factors. State-of-the-art laboratories provide hands-on experience and there are many opportunities for undergraduate research with our outstanding faculty. ASCE and Chi Epsilon, our CEE student organizations, are very active in career planning, mentoring, social networking, and civil engineering competitions such as concrete canoe, steel bridge and the environmental competition.

Entering freshman will begin the Fall 2008 curriculum. The four-year core program features a common first year curriculum for all engineering freshman. Fall 2009 junior transfer students can choose to follow the four-year degree , but are highly encouraged to move to the new curriculum as it allows more choice in upper division technical electives.

Admission to the Civil Engineering undergraduate major is conducted through the Office of Undergraduate Admission and Relations with Schools.
