Design Intensive Course (Minimum of 2 courses required)
Additional requirements: 15 credits of approved professional electives. Not more than 3 courses in any one civil engineering sub-area (consult advisor). A maximum of 4 credits total from Individual Problems, Internships and Undergraduate Research may be counted toward professional electives. The professional electives program must contain a minimum of 2 design intensive courses (+)(see the CE flow chart). Students must successfully complete all key courses (*) prior to taking any advanced courses (**) which includes professional electives. A maximum of 3 credit-hours may be included from a completed MSU minor, a prior or concurrent BS/BA degree in another major, or courses in a completed MSU Honors Program, or Internship (max. 3 credits).
