Admission
Prospective undergraduates interested in studying Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford apply to the university through the Undergraduate Admissions Office - not directly to the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. This allows Stanford students to explore a wide range of possible major fields before committing to a specific one. Once convinced that Civil and Environmental Engineering is the appropriate field, students may "declare" the major during the sophomore or junior year. The major is open to all Stanford undergraduate students in good academic standing.

Green Dorm
Stanford University, in an effort led by students and faculty in the School of Engineering, plans to build a "green dorm," a residence hall designed to generate more electricity than it uses, and emit no net carbon. In addition to housing 47 students, it will also embody three important goals: to demonstrate how buildings can be designed to be positive contributors to the environment; to provide a living lab that allows faculty and students to explore innovations in green technology; and to be a great great place for students to live, study and socialize.
