<p>Alright so my situation is that my major currently is applied mathematics, the only reason its not engineering is my school does not offer it and I cannot transfer because im playing baseball at the college im currently at and am my tuition is being paid for because of baseball. So my question is: Once I graduate from my college with an undergrad degree in applied mathematics after that should I go get an undergrad degree in civil engineering or whatever and if i do that would it be a waste of time? also would it be 4 more years to get an undergrad in civil engineering or how long would it take? Or should I try to get in a masters of engineering program? im not sure if I could even do that. Just wondering what you all think, Thank you.</p>
<p>Careful selection of courses within an applied math major may make it possible to go into industrial engineering or operations research. Taking computer science courses may also help in that direction.</p>
<p>But civil engineering would be more difficult to move into, especially with the PE licensing and accompanying ABET accreditation issues, as well as courses that are further from typical pure and applied math courses.</p>
<p>Yeah thats what everyone else was saying about the requirements for civil engineering. The problem with my school is that they dont really offer anything good… There is one computer programing class but thats it… im just not sure if I should try and get two under grad degrees or not and how long would that take me?</p>
<p>I would look at upper-level physics classes like thermodynamics, electricity, and fluid mechanics to prepare for civil if that is a direction you would like to take.</p>
<p>Thank you, does anyone know how long it would take to get a BS in civl engineering after a BS in applied math?</p>

<li><p>You need to get into a school that accepts students seeking second bachelor’s degrees for an ABET-accredited civil engineering degree program.</p></li>
<li><p>You need to take the needed science and engineering courses to complete that civil engineering degree program. This is probably about four to six full semesters of course work, depending on what you have completed before (you obviously have the math, but if can help if you have also taken lower division physics and general chemistry courses). You may need to take additional humanities and social studies breadth courses if the new school has requirements that you did not fulfill with courses at your first school.</p></li>

<p>UT-Austin, at least, would not allow you go go for an MS in civil engineering unless you had a BS in CE first.</p>
