Civil Engineering & Construction Department
Bradley University’s Civil and Construction Engineering programs prepare students to design, build, and maintain critical infrastructure such as transportation systems, water supplies, and sustainable structures. From the first year, students gain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art labs, working on real-world projects that lead to a senior capstone design experience.
Leadership skills are fostered through management courses and student organizations, while customizable coursework in internationalization, sustainability, and infrastructure allows students to align their education with career goals. With a strong foundation in technical expertise and problem-solving, Bradley graduates are equipped to tackle the challenges of modern infrastructure and urban development.
