My son got into UIUC civil engineering, we are out of state. We just did the admitted students visit. Can somebody comment how good is the civil engineering program and what are the job prospect in this program at UIUC.
It’s top 2 in the country (Usually switches yearly with UC Berkley for the top spot)
Amazing program.
@literallymarx any idea of the job prospects from that department at UIUC?
no idea, the people I know from Civil are all going to grad school
@literallymarx are you a student at UIUC Civil then?
no Im CS/EngPhys but I know a bunch of civil people
@literallymarx thank you so much for your response. So you are in the CS+X program? Is that correct?
No Im a double major
@literallymarx if I may ask did you enter in CS first and then choose double major?
@literallymarx one more question do you know how hard it is to change major to Electrical at the end of your first year?
Yeah I did CS and then applied for Physics double major.
EE used to be relatively easy to get into, but it’s gotten much harder. I think you need a 3.75 GPA after your first year to transfer now.
