Associate of Science in Civil Engineering (ASCE)

The ASCE program requires the successful completion of 60 credit-hours of instruction at the lower level (freshman and sophomore years). The ASCE places a strong emphasis on general education courses as well as core courses that will provide a solid foundation for entry to the BSCE program. The core studies include both practical and theoretic courses.
