The University at Buffalo Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering is a vibrant and exciting place to earn an undergraduate engineering degree.

We offer a B.S. in civil engineering and a B.S. in environmental engineering.

We participate in a dual-degree program in civil engineering and computer science; a combined-degree B.S. (civil engineering)/MBA (master of business administration); and a combined B.S./M.Eng. (masters of engineering) degree. At the graduate level, we offer both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.

Our department has 24 full-time faculty, 300 undergraduate, and 150 graduate students. Typically, the department awards about 60 B.S. degrees annually.

Engineering class sizes may range from several hundred for the required freshman and sophomore courses taken by all engineering students, to as few as ten for junior and senior technical electives. The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences offers a variety of tutoring and mentoring programs to help freshman engineering students succeed.

As a student in our department, you will have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as the ASCE-sponsored Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe (yes, concrete!) competitions, and the Water Environment Federation Student Design Contest. These are national competitions that our students regularly participate in and sometimes win!

At UB, you will receive an academically rigorous and high quality education at an affordable cost. The total cost for a full-time undergraduate student at UB is approximately $15,000, with many opportunities for financial aid. The combination of educational quality and affordability make UB an exceptional educational value.

THE FACES OF CSEE

Environmental Engineering, B.S. Junior

"I was drawn to environmental because it's outdoorsy. I plan to work right out of school and then go to graduate school for a masters and maybe a doctorate."

PROSPECTIVE UNDERGRADS

You can apply for admission to our bachelor’s programs as an incoming freshman, as a sophomore already enrolled at UB, or as a transfer.
