The civil engineering program at UVU is an engaging and challenging major that prepares students for exciting careers and graduate programs in the field of civil engineering. Students begin their study by completing a series of foundational courses in math, science, writing, and engineering. After successful completion of these foundational courses and before enrolling in upper-division (3000-level or higher) major courses, students need to apply and be accepted to the civil engineering program. A student not meeting all of the admission requirements may be admitted with provisional status for one semester.
Applications for admission to the civil engineering program are accepted until two weeks prior to the start of a new semester. We encourage you to apply as early as possible.
Acceptance to UVU is required prior to submitting an application to any UVU engineering program. Application to the university can be done online at the UVU admissions page. This includes transferring all credits from other institutions. All UVU deadlines and fees apply. Students are encouraged to apply to UVU early so all transfer credits can be evaluated before MCE department application deadlines. In order to graduate from UVU, students will be required to meet all UVU graduation requirements.
Complete foundational coursework. A final grade of C or higher is required.

Students may apply to the program if they have not completed all foundational coursework. A provisional admission to the program is possible. However, students will not be allowed to take professional engineering courses (3000 and higher) if the prerequisites are not met. It is recommended that students meet all prerequisite coursework required prior to applying for admission.
Your advisor will verify your application, upload your unofficial transcript, upload transfer credits awarded (if applicable), and create and upload a Wolverine Track graduation plan.
Meet with an MCE faculty mentor to review your application and graduation plan.
Students will be notified via their myUVU email (indicated in application) about admissions decisions.
