 Students are encouraged to take GEOE 203.

**

Students can take MATH 321 or CHE 315 or ECON 210 as a statistics course. If students take MATH 321 as their statistics elective and MATH 421 as their technical elective, they will earn a minor in Math, without adding extra courses to their degree plan. 

***

UND Civil Engineering Degree Program requires courses as well as ENGL 110 and ENGL 130 to be completed with at least a “C” grade in each of the courses. 

****

Students must ensure all appropriate pre-requisites are met prior to registering for all courses in the curriculum. 

†

Either ENGR 200 OR ENGR 202 must be completed with a "C" or higher. 

‡

Labs must be completed on campus, through CE 102 or from a pre-approved transfer institution. For more information on labs, please visit here. 

Students have the opportunity to take CE 102 where they can petition to waive a program specific requirement, not university or essential studies requirements, for the following courses: CE 101, CE 103,  CE 313, CE 313L, CE 397(up to 3 crs), CE 411 , CE 412L, CE 423L, CE 431L, CE 444, ENGR 200, ENGR 340. 

All engineering, science, and math transfer courses must earn a grade of "C" or higher to be applied to the program. 

Students must complete a minimum of 21 credit hours of 300-level or higher coursework in Civil Engineering at UND, including CE 482 and CE 483.
