Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Certificate of Undergraduate Study (CUGS) in Geotechnical Engineering will allow students to take courses specific to Geotechnical Engineering as well as courses that will establish a background in the related field of Geology. This will allow students to graduate from Rowan University better prepared for a career specifically in geotechnical engineering than they would with just the BS degree, and provide them with an additional credential beyond the BS, yet prior to earning a MS degree.
