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.

Beginning in Fall of 2007, entering freshman will begin a new curriculum. The revised four-year core program now features a common first year curriculum for all engineering freshman. However Fall 2007 junior transfer students will continue to follow the original four-year degree plan.

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

In addition, the College of Engineering maintains a web site that provides information about the College of Engineering and admissions.
