Degree Offered

Master of Science in Environmental Engineering

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (M.S.Env.E.) program is designed to provide full-time and part-time students with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competency in the general area of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students are motivated to grow intellectually through the continued search for and use of knowledge, and are provided with the catalyst to become active, articulate, and socially aware individuals. Graduates of the program are key contributors to the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering professions. Two areas of specialization are available: Civil Engineering Systems and Environmental Engineering. Advanced courses in Civil Engineering Systems include the three major branches of civil engineering: construction engineering, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. Research in Environmental Engineering includes the fundamentals and applications of water resources engineering, pollution in natural systems (water and air), and engineered treatment and remediation systems.

Graduates with the M.S. in Environmental Engineering are employed by various engineering companies as well as government agencies in design, analysis, and applications. Typical examples are water treatment facilities and regulatory agencies engaged in environmental regulation and pollution control; companies involved in construction project management; and those involved in structural design and analysis of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Students who complete an M.S.Env.E. with a thesis are prepared to enter a doctoral program.
