to any of these questions, you may find civil and environmental engineering (CEE) is a good fit for you — especially at the University of Iowa, where you’ll be part of a close-knit community of friends and faculty that truly feels like family.
Civil and environmental engineers are on the front lines of some of the world’s most pressing problems, building solutions and putting technology to work for the good of all. The world needs your passion for doing good — for abundant clean drinking water, for safe roads and bridges, for flood protection and reduction, and much more.
At the University of Iowa, you won’t find yourself being “weeded out” of the program. Instead, we want every student to succeed, and we offer the support and programs to make that happen.
You’ll work closely with faculty members who not only know your name but also your interests and aptitudes. They may even ask you to work with them on a research project.
But don’t take our word for it. Listen to what University of Iowa students have to say about civil and environmental engineering at Iowa. Then plan a campus visit so you can sit in on a class, meet students and faculty, and see our state-of-the-art facilities. Call or email today to schedule your visit!
It's great to be a Hawkeye!
And Iowa's outstanding athletic teams are just the beginning...
A close-knit community.
At Iowa, you'll be part of a welcoming community of friends. The
University of Iowa is a major research university, but most required
CEE classes have fewer than 55 students, and CEE elective classes are
often much smaller at almost 25-35 students.
Get started the right way.
We admit qualified students directly to engineering. Most graduate in four years.
No weed-out classes.
We want our students to succeed, and we provide the programs and support to make it happen.
Help when you need it.
Engineering is a challenging field. If you need help with
coursework, support is readily available through peer advising, free
tutoring programs, and more.
State-of-the-art facilities.
Our recently renovated building, the Seamans Center, offers
tech-infused classrooms, cutting edge laboratories, and plenty of
collaborative study space for students.
Find your niche.
At Iowa, we offer programs and groups to help you find your
place and "fit in." You can be part of a living-learning community, such
as Women in Science and Engineering (WISE). You'll live with peers
working toward similar goals.
Faculty who know you and want you to succeed.
Our faculty are not only leading professionals in their fields,
they also take an interest in students as individuals and work to help
them do well.
And individualized curriculum.
Once you've chosen a major, such as civil and environmental
engineering, you can also select an elective focus area (EFA) in
engineering or even another field, such as communications, art, or
business.
Get some hands-on experience.
If you're ready to get started on research, all you have to do
is ask! Faculty often hire students to work closely with them on
research on a wide range of real-world problems, from water quality to
sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
What is the Regent Admissions Index (RAI)?
The Regent Admission Index (RAI) is a formula — get used to them! — that combines the following: ACT/SAT score, high school percentile rank and grade-point average (GPA), and number of high school courses completed in core subject areas. Compute your own, or let us do it for you — visit admissions.uiowa.edu/rai.
