Civil Engineering and Architectural Studies, BSCE at Northeastern University

Challenges like sustainability and resilience in the built environment cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and require a range of skills, approaches and knowledge.

Students who wish to practice as professional engineers while drawing on the broad knowledge from architecture may combine the full, ABET-accredited Civil Engineering degree with Architectural Studies for a Combined Major. Students successfully completing the program receive a rigorous engineering training education, enabling a high level of engineering knowledge as well as exposure to a broad range of architectural topics and design experiences. Coursework in the major may enable advanced placement in an accredited Master of Architecture degree program (including at Northeastern), should students later choose to become licensed architects.

Students also have the opportunity to undertake a co-op experience consistent with the policies and opportunities offered within the College of Engineering.
