Admission and Enrollment Statistics
All statistics are pre-DTC admission. Data for DTC admission is not yet available.
Undergraduate Enrollment at a Glance
The CEE Undergraduate Enrollment for autumn 2017 (below) includes 361 majors from the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) program and 14 majors from the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSENVE) program, for a total of 375. The BSENVE program was launched in autumn 2017 as a minimum requirement admission, where qualified majors could simply declare the major.
