Accreditation

Point Park University's Bachelor of Science degree program in civil engineering technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, (www.abet.org) and prepares graduates to work productively as civil engineering technologists in industry or government or to earn advanced degrees. Graduates of the program are eligible to pursue licensure as professional engineers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and most other states.

Transfer Credit

Subject to the review of the faculty, incoming students may receive credit for previous course work at comparable institutions or for technical experience gained on the job. Agreements with other local institutions allow our students to register for courses that are offered elsewhere, giving them the opportunity to pursue subjects not taught on campus during a particular term.

Class Schedules

A full schedule of evening and weekend classes gives you the ability to earn a four-year degree while working full time during the day. We have a long history of educating part-time working students and offering additional resources and assistance.

Program Requirements

You will gain a solid theoretical foundation of mathematics and science as the basis for their study of required technical courses in structures, hydraulics, surveying, environmental protection, transportation, and materials.

Many of our science and technology courses supplement lectures with laboratory experiences using equipment typical of that found in industry, ensuring that graduates of the program are familiar with current technical practices and are able to apply theory to real-world situations.

Internships, which may carry University credit, are available with local companies for students who wish to obtain work experience during their studies.
