Pathway to Your Construction Engineering Degree
The Citadel offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Construction Engineering (BSCE) through a structured 2+2 Transfer Program. Students begin their studies at South Carolina technical schools or another accredited college or university, completing the first two years of their undergraduate coursework. The final two years of the program, including all upper-level courses, are completed at The Citadel through evening classes.
