Civil Transfer Option

Civil Engineering Technology

A.A.S. Degree (S)

Delaware Tech’s associate degree program will prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate civil engineering program that leads to a career as a civil engineer. Rigorous mathematics, chemistry, physics, statics, materials, and civil engineering courses prepare students for their final two years of study at a four-year institution. View the section on Connected Degree programs below to learn more about your options for transfer.
