• YES

Answer explanation

An emphasis allows you to choose similarly focused electives to gain expertise in one area of civil; However, if you're interested in multiple areas you can take different electives to explore them!

If you do the environmental emphasis, it will affect some requirements outside of just electives, and it will show up on your transcript.
