Bachelor of Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University provides
a rigorous foundation in the engineering sciences, preparing graduates for immediate
entry into professional practice across fields such as structural, geotechnical, environmental,
and transportation engineering. The curriculum balances advanced coursework in mathematics
and the physical sciences with a core set of engineering disciplines, emphasizing
the use of modern design software and the integration of technical solutions with
economic constraints. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET
(http://www.abet.org), the program ensures that students meet the high global standards
required for professional licensure and leadership in the infrastructure and construction
industries.
The Accelerated BE/MS Program at Stony Brook University is an elite academic track
designed for high-achieving Civil Engineering students to earn both their Bachelor
of Engineering and Master of Science degrees in just five years. By allowing students
to double-count up to six graduate credits toward both degree requirements, the program
significantly reduces the time and financial investment typically required for an
advanced degree. Students generally apply during the spring of their junior year and
must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 to qualify for this streamlined transition.
This condensed timeline enables graduates to enter the professional workforce sooner
with a master’s degree, providing a distinct competitive advantage for leadership
roles and specialized engineering positions.
