Degree Programs in Civil Engineering Technology
Point Park University offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Civil Engineering Technology. This program, fully accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, prepares graduates to work productively as civil engineers 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 coursework at comparable institutions or for technical experience gained on the job. Agreements with other local institutions allow Point Park 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 a student in the Civil Engineering Technology program the ability to earn a four-year degree while working full time during the day. The University has a long history of educating part-time working students and offers them additional resources and assistance through their Office of Graduate and Adult Enrollment.Program Requirements
Students in the Civil Engineering Technology program 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 the science and technology courses supplement their 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.
