Civil Engineering Technology to Civil Engineering Technology
An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from Old Dominion University.
Your Path Forward
Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior
The Connected Degree Curriculum
Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Civil Engineering Technology will prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate civil engineering program that leads to a career as a civil engineer. Rigorous mathematics, chemistry, physics, statistics, materials, and civil engineering courses prepare students for their final two years of study at a four-year institution. Old Dominion University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Civil Engineering prepares graduates to actively engage in problem-solving using engineering principles to address the evolving needs of society. Graduates will be able to advance in their civil engineering careers or other chosen professions and/or enroll in graduate studies. They will be prepared to make ethical decisions and demonstrate a commitment to service to their profession and society. Modern civil engineering addresses large segments of the societal infrastructure such as mass transportation systems, water resource exploration and management, environmental protection, coastal management and off-shore structures.
Value For You
By completing your associate degree at Delaware Tech, you'll receive excellent instruction in small classes at a campus close to home. Delaware Tech's affordable tuition can reduce the overall cost of your college education, making the completion of your bachelor's degree more manageable.

Additional Notes/Requirements
Numbered Notes:
- Note 1: Transfer Course Options: Before enrolling in an DTCC lower-level general education course, it is highly advisable that students seek guidance from an ODU enrollment coordinator. Courses can be completed at either DTCC or at ODU, and/or approved standardized examination (i.e., CLEP, DSST).
- Note 2: Science Requirements. Physics I and II, as well as Chemistry I with a lab are ODU CET departmental requirements. Students may complete Physics II and Chemistry I requirements at DTCC or ODU. Physics courses must be completed in sequence (PHY 205/206 or PHY 281/282). Students who take DTCC’s PHY 205 may either complete PHY 206 General Physics II at DTCC or PHYS 112N General Physics II at ODU. Students who take DTCC’s PHY 281 may either complete PHY 282 Physics II with Calculus at DTCC or PHYS 232N University Physics II at ODU. Students may take CHM 150 Chemical Principles at DTCC to transfer in as CHEM 121N Foundations of Chemistry I and CHEM 122N Lab to meet the ODU CET Chemistry requirement.
- Note 3: Social Science Requirement. ODU requires 6 credit hours of lower-division Social Science. PSY 121 General Psychology at DTCC fulfills 3 of these credit hours, leaving students with 3 additional credit hours to complete. These may be completed at DTCC or ODU.
- Note 4: Humanities Requirement. DTCC students will need to complete 3 additional credit hours in ODU lower-division Humanities. This may be completed at DTCC or ODU.
- Note 5: Math Requirement. CET students at DTCC have the option of completing MAT 193 Reasoning with Functions II or MAT 282 Calculus II. MAT 193 will transfer to ODU as a lower-level general education requirement therefore it is highly recommended students select MAT 193. The ODU CET program requires Math through Calculus I; therefore, students should complete MAT 281 Calculus I at DTCC which will transfer to ODU as MATH 211 Calculus I. Students who do not transfer in an equivalent course to MATH 211 Calculus I will need to complete the CET math requirement at ODU.
- Note 6: Course Substitution. For students following this agreement, CET 240 Hydraulics and Hydrology may substitute to meet ODU’s ENGN 121 Intro to Engineering and Technology program requirement.
- Note 7: Upper Division General Education. Students may complete either a minor or 6 credits of approved upper division (300/400 level) courses to meet the Upper-Division General Education requirement. The ODU CET major requires ENMA 302 Engineering Economics and ENMA 480 Ethical Leadership in Engineering Applications, which will also satisfy two courses in the Engineering Management minor. To complete a minor in Engineering Management, an additional 6 credit hours in either project management, decision techniques, or risk analysis are required.
General Notes:
- Completion of this transfer agreement guide alone does not guarantee admission to Old Dominion University. All students must meet the requirements set by the Office of Admissions.
- Lower-Division General Education waiver and course substitutions are not automatic upon enrollment to ODU. Students must notify their ODU academic advisor for these to be processed upon verification.
- Grade of C or higher is required to receive transfer course credit from AAS courses.
- A minimum of 120 credit hours is required for graduation. Students must earn a minimum of 30 credits at Old Dominion University to be eligible for a degree.
- Course requirements listed in this agreement are based on the 2025-2026 catalogs for each institution and are valid until 2028, unless annual catalog curriculum changes or an updated agreement guide is created.
- Students are encouraged to complete the Letter of Intent (LOI) to gain access to exclusive benefits, including pre-advising, coaching, and a waived application fee. Submit the LOI at to connect with an ODU enrollment coordinator. Contact academicpartnerships@odu.edu for questions about this transfer agreement.
