BS Program in Engineering

Office Phone 274-5126/ Room# 42/113

(Program Effective Fall 2003)

The BS Program in Engineering is a new initiative for undergraduate engineering education. As engineering moves toward graduate level study as the ?first? degree for the practice of professional engineering, the University of the District of Columbia offers the BS in Engineering degree as a foundation for graduate studies in areas directed toward the solution of Urban Engineering Problems. 

This program also prepares students for initial job entry in careers dealing with the ?engineering? of the urban infrastructure. Students are well versed in the fundamentals of engineering, and in the upper division of the program may concentrate their studies in one or more selected areas of Civil Engineering.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering
