The Environmental Engineering program provides comprehensive educational and research opportunities in air, land and water science and engineering.The principal focus areas include:
- environmental biotechnology
- water quality and treatment
- wastewater reclamation and reuse
- environmental hazards and risk assessment
- ground water modeling and treatment
- air quality monitoring; pollution control and modeling
- environmental sciences; and industrial ecology
- sustainability
Environmental engineering is also a key component in Institute-wide initiatives in bioengineering, bioscience and biotechnology, nanotechnology, materials science and technology, sustainable technology and development, environmental science and technology, and energy-water-food systems.
The multi-disciplinary credentials of our faculty, our state-of-the-art research facilities, and extensive collaborations with other engineering and science faculty all combine to attract high-caliber students from a variety of disciplines.
The master’s degree requires 30 credit hours beyond a Bachelor of Science. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. Typically, a non-thesis master’s degree can be completed in three semesters and a thesis degree program can be completed in two years.
