Prospective Students - Undergraduate
The Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at Rowan University is a wonderful place to get an engineering degree. Rowan prides itself on providing a "private school" education at a public school price. U.S. News & World Report ranked Rowan's College of Engineering 16th (tied) nationally among best undergraduate engineering programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and placed the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department tied for 11th place at schools where the highest degree is a bachelor's or master's degree.
Talented, exceptional, and involved students can apply to our prestigious Thomas N. Bantivoglio Honors Concentration. The honors concentration allows students priority registration and housing, challenging coursework, enriching field trips, and community service activities.
We also offer students the opportunity to belong to the Engineering Learning Community (ELC). Students in the ELC live in the same dorm, take two classes together each of their first two semesters at Rowan, and participate in extracurricular activities.
The facilities and faculty are excellent. Faculty maintain an open door policy, freely interacting with students outside of class. The curriculum is up-to-date, reflecting the need for modern engineers to have high-tech skills and communication ability. The clinic program provides students the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in class to real-world problems. Our students are engaged in their education. They obtain scholarships and win awards. Our Engineering Outreach Office finds students excellent summer and permanent jobs. When our students graduate, they are sought after by employers and graduate schools because of the unique skills they develop at Rowan.
Please explore our website to see if Rowan is the place for you. Also visit the University and College websites. If you need to talk to our faculty, call 856-256-5321 or email Aaron Nolan at nolan@rowan.edu.

Transfers
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering actively seeks outstanding transfer students. Many of our brightest and most successful students are transfer students. We work hard to provide our transfer students a smooth transition into our department.
MEETS
Transfer students and change-of-major students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are offered the opportunity to become members of MEETS (Mentor, Energize, Engage Transfer Students). This group meets once a month to discuss issues impacting transfer and change-of-major students. These meetings offer transfer students and change-of-major students the chance to meet one another and get to know one another. This is especially important for transfer students and change-of-major students from different years. Upcoming meeting dates are as follows:
Thursday, September 9, 2021 - 3:30 PM Rowan Hall Atrium
Thursday, October 7, 2021 - 3:30 PM Rowan Hall Atrium
Tuesday, November 2, 2021 - 3:30 PM Rowan Hall Atrium
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 - 3:30 PM Rowan Hall Atrium
Transfer students can also be nominated for the Robert Anthony Dusseau Memorial Scholarship. This $500 scholarship goes to the transfer student with the highest GPA in their first semester at Rowan.
