Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

A five-year program integrating the various fields of civil engineering (structural, geotechnical and foundation, water resources, environmental, transportation, construction management, and coastal and harbor engineering) in the curriculum. The program provides the students the basic theory and skills involved in general civil engineering practice and serves as preparation for graduate studies in various fields of specialization in civil engineering.

Master of Engineering with Specialization in Structural/Geotechnical Engineering

This program is intended for civil engineers who have had some professional experience in the academe and in the industry and fresh graduates in the bachelors degree in civil engineering who seek to broaden their knowledge in the area of structural engineering and its allied field which is geotechnical engineering and develop greater depth of understanding of principles in this areas of specialization.

Master of Engineering with Specialization in Water Resources and Environment

This program is intended for civil engineers who have had some professional experience in the academe and in the industry and fresh graduates in the bachelors degree in civil engineering who seek to upgrade themselves in the area of water resources and environment and be able to contribute to the solutions to regional and national problems related to this field of specialization and to acquire a deeper understanding of engineering principles in this area of specialization.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering Major in Water Resources and Environment

The MSCEW program takes two years to complete and include introductory courses in mathematics, major courses in water resources and environment and thesis research. Based on the concept of integrated water resources management, the courses and thesis research cover engineering, economic, legal as well as social aspects of water resources and environment. Management tools and the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are included in the curriculum.
