Coastal Engineering, B.S

University of North Carolina - Wilmington

Coastal communities face a wide range of challenges associated with rising seas, hurricanes, long-term shoreline change, human and ecosystem health, and increasing development. An innovative and trained coastal workforce is needed to help communities, and the nation, address these challenges.

Our graduates have been hired by state and federal agencies including the North Carolina Department of Transportation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and by a wide range of private surveying and design firms throughout the southeast region. In addition, some graduates have moved on to pursue graduate degrees at premier universities both domestically and abroad. The B.S. Coastal Engineering degree combines a breadth of experience that opens up a wide range of employment opportunities.
