¶¶Òõ̽̽

Both of our undergraduate degrees in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering are accredited and deeply rooted in environmental stewardship, and have ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s Sustainability degree designation. Our students are actively involved in local and international communities through service-learning projects, enjoy numerous courses with hands-on, project-based components, and routinely engage in off-campus internships and student clubs. Many undergraduate students also participate in faculty-led research experiences.

B.S. in Civil Engineering

B.S. In Environmental Engineering

Minor in Sustainable Energy Engineering

At the graduate level, individualized M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs concentrated around one or more sub-disciplines of environmental, geotechnical, water resources, structural, materials, and transportation engineering.  Our dedicated faculty members work together with highly motivated graduate students to address critical issues facing our world related to sustainability and energy; infrastructure systems; climate change, hazard mitigation, and adaptation; and environmental and public health. Our emphasis is interdisciplinary education with research collaborations and opportunities across campus including not only other engineering and science departments but also social science, policy, and medicine. Our students cherish the integrated learning atmosphere we offer and many employ the watersheds, landscapes and strong communities of Vermont as laboratories for their research.

CEE Graduate Programs

Civil and environmental engineering (CEE) has a long and significant history at ¶¶Òõ̽̽. The first civil engineering professor (George Russell Huntington – Professor of Mathematics and Civil Engineering) was hired in 1829. This was at a time when there was a common university core, and civil engineering was indeed part of that core. For over 180 years, ¶¶Òõ̽̽ has been graduating civil engineers who have been critical for the economic and social well being of the State and beyond. At the undergraduate level, the civil engineering program has been continually accredited since 1936 and the environmental engineering program has been continually accredited since 2005. The first MS degree awarded at ¶¶Òõ̽̽ in any area was in 1874 to civil engineer, Charles Simeon Denison, who later became a professor of mechanical drawing at the University of Michigan. CEE doctoral program was implemented in 1992, and the first Ph.D. student graduated in 1994.
