The program is fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and provides a broad traditional civil engineering background that focuses on basic theory and design. Technical electives can be selected to obtain a strong technical base in a particular field of civil engineering or other engineering disciplines.

Scholarships
Columbia is need-blind for US Citizens, US Permanent Residents and persons granted refugee visas by the US. As a result, the Office of Admissions considers your application without regard to your financial need. Financial Aid at Columbia is need-based. There are no academic, athletic or talent-based institutional scholarships.
Columbia meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all students admitted as first-years, including foreign students. And school continue to meet your 100% of your demonstrated financial need for all four years of study.
Columbia admits a large number of foreign students who apply and receive a substantial amount of financial aid. However, Columbia is not need blind for foreign students. If admitted and you demonstrate financial need, then Columbia will meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need.
Columbia is need-blind for transfer students. Though transfer students are admitted regardless of their financial need school do have a limited amount of funds available to fund transfer students.
Course Details
Course Structure
The Civil Engineering Program offers four areas of concentration: civil engineering and construction management, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and water resources/environmental engineering. An optional minor can be selected in architecture, education, economics, and any of the engineering departments in the school. In the junior and senior years, 18 credits of technical electives are allocated.
International Exchange & Double Degrees
There are several dual degree program run by Columbia University.
Internships
There are opportunities available for first and second year students, including some CU sponsored programs. Using general search engines will be a good starting point. It is also important to consider sources beyond on-campus recruiting for internship positions, such as volunteer and community activities, research for professors, and part-time positions.
Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
The research performed in our department is determined primarily by the interests of our faculty. All of our faculty are well known and respected by their peers for the high quality of their research.
Molecular Design and Modification of Material Surfaces
There is much current interest in developing polymer surfaces that are adaptive and responsive to various stimuli. The goal of this research is to create surface-active polymers that deliver various photoactive functional groups and polymers to the surface.
Biophysics and Soft Matter Physics
Soft matter denotes polymers, gels, self-assembled surfactant structures, colloidal suspensions, and many other complex fluids. These are strongly fluctuating, floppy, fluidlike materials that can nonetheless exhibit diverse phases with remarkable long-range order. In the last few decades, statistical physics has achieved a sound understanding of the scaling and universality characterizing large length scale properties of much synthetic soft condensed matter. More recently, ideas and techniques from soft condensed matter physics have been applied to biological soft matter such as DNA, RNA, proteins, cell membrane surfactant assemblies, actin and tubulin structures, and many others.
Genomics Engineering
Genomic research is focused in five areas: human disease mapping, bioinformatics approaches to enhancing disease gene discovery, improvement in the chemistry and engineering of genomic technologies, whole genome sequencing and characterization, and post-genomic technologies.
Interfacial Engineering and Electrochemistry
Research efforts are focused mainly on basic issues concerning the design and control of electrochemical systems. A particular application involves studies of both feature and wafer scale phenomena in the copper metallization process that has been introduced into the computer industry for advanced, on-chip interconnects.
Protein and Metabolic Engineering
Research in protein engineering involves the enhancement of proteins and peptides for the improvement of specific applications using a variety of molecular biology tools and techniques.
Text / Exam Scores
1. SAT and/or ACT exams
2. Two SAT Subject Test scores (for Engineering applicants, Math 1 or 2 and Physics or Chemistry)
