Minor
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a minor program in environmental engineering. Environmental problem formulation, identification of solutions, and then implementation require an interdisciplinary approach. Additional breadth can be obtained by combining an undergraduate major in physical, mathematical, social, or biological sciences with a minor in environmental engineering. This minor will develop quantitative approaches to environmental analysis and is good preparation for graduate study in environmental engineering within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Berkeley or elsewhere.
There is no major in environmental engineering.
Declaring the Minor
To be considered for admission to the minor, students should have the following:
- An overall grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0.
- Completed the lower division prerequisite courses with a GPA of 3.0; for further information regarding the prerequisites, see the Minor Requirements tab on this page.
- Upon admission to the minor, completed a minimum of five courses, of which no more than one can be counted toward of the requirements of the major(s).
- A minimum of a grade-point average of 2.0 in the minor.
- Completion of the minor cannot delay graduation.
After completion of the prerequisite courses, students need to complete and submit to the Civil and Environmental Academic Affairs office (750 Davis Hall) a Minor Program Application form.
Upon completion of the minor requirements, the student must complete and submit the Confirmation of Completion form to the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department's Office of Academic Affairs no later than two weeks after the end of the term in which the minor was completed.
