If its going to make you be in school longer I would not do it. Just do civil with an emphasis in environmental. This will leave allot more doors open than just an environmental engineering degree. You could also go on to get a masters in environmental engineering if you want. If you can do it without staying in school to long then go for it. I had a tough time deciding between these two majors. Everyone I asked (professors and working engineers) said civil can take environmental jobs but environmentals are generally limited to that one area. You just want as many doors to be open as possible when you graduate.

ABET is very important for civil/environmental. I am pretty sure both majors at nc state are abet accredited so no problems there.

Definitely do an internship if you can. It will help a ton with future opportunities. I would look into nc states co-op program. I am starting my first co-op rotation this spring. I am not at nc state but I know they have a co-op program.
