Interested applicants are encouraged to write to the graduate program coordinator for specific information on current research in the department.
Our graduate program currently enrolls dozens of active students working under the supervision of fourteen professors and most of our graduate students are involved in funded research. We fund nearly all our graduate students with teaching and research assistantships and provide excellent opportunities for hands-on research in the laboratory and in the field. For example, our graduate students have instrumented bridges, gone to Alaska to test new drilling techniques for groundwater monitoring, designed and built steel frames, and travel throughout New England sampling local water supplies to test for radon in drinking water.
