Bachelor of Civil Engineering at Ohio University

Because of the broad nature of civil engineering and the way the program is set up, a wide range of career paths is available to graduates of the program. For example, some graduates can work for private firms as structural or geotechnical engineers. Some graduates may be hired by construction contractors as construction management professionals. Others may find opportunities in government agencies to work as transportation or environmental engineers. The program's sound foundations in mathematics, basic sciences, fundamental engineering, and various specialty areas of civil engineering assure that some graduates of the program will be ready to pursue advanced degrees in civil engineering related graduate programs available throughout the U.S. and beyond.
