The Associate of Science in Civil Engineering is a two-year program for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or related field. A civil engineer designs and supervises construction projects such as airports, bridges, channels, dams, railroads, and highways, as well as utilities and other infrastructure projects.  Responsibilities of a civil engineer include estimating costs, determining personnel and material needs, preparing proposals, and establishing completion dates.

Transfer Options
The Tennessee Transfer Pathway (TTP) degree is designed to create a smooth transition to all public universities offering a Baccalaureate degree in this major by guaranteeing the transferability of all courses. For transfer to other four-year institutions, contact an advisor at the senior institution.  Note:  There are to be no course substitutions in this program. 

All students graduating with a degree from VSCC are required to take the Educational Testing Service Proficiency Profile (ETSP) to meet graduation requirements. More information can be found at http://www.volstate.edu/Testing/Services.php.

Notes


Students are strongly encouraged to complete a course in Mechanics of Materials, also known as Strength of Materials, before transferring to a university.

Courses in engineering technology do not fulfill any of the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Civil Engineering.

Although it is possible to complete the B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering in four semesters after earning the associate’s degree, students typically need five or six semesters to complete requirements.
