For general university requirements, see Graduation Requirements. Students pursuing the BA degree with a major in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEEG) must complete: A minimum of 122 credit hours to satisfy degree requirements. ○ 5-6 courses (16 credit hours) as Major Concentration Core courses. ○ 7 courses (21 credit hours) from Specialty Focus Area courses. ○ 9-11 courses (25 credit hours) of General Math and Science courses. The requirements of a major concentration. When students declare the major in Civil and Environmental Engineering, students must additionally identify and declare one of the major concentrations, either in a.) Civil Engineering or b.) Environmental Engineering. Each major concentration is to be tailored to the specific needs of each student by discussions with, and approval by, the Civil and Environmental Engineering departmental major concentration advisor. Although not required, students are encouraged to double major when pursuing the BA degree. The coherent and complete core curriculum is designed to give Rice undergraduate students a consistent technological literacy through the lens of Civil and Environmental Engineering and to prepare students for graduate school in engineering, various sciences (depending upon focus), economics, business MBA, political science, law, or medicine. Select students will be invited to finish an accelerated MS/PhD degree in the CEVE Department (see your advisor or department chair for details). Those students who want to obtain an engineering degree from a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET must follow one of the Bachelor of Science programs the EAC has accredited at Rice, like the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE).
