Master of Science in Environmental Engineering

Home > Graduate > MS in Environmental Engineering

The preferred applicant for the M.S. in Environmental Engineering will posses a BS engineering degree from an ABET accredited engineering program, or foreign equivalent. Other BS degrees such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Environmental Science, and similar programs will also be considered.

Students with non-engineering degrees will have to complete the mathematics, physics, and engineering science requirements described under the link at left "MS in Engineering" in section "Applicants Without and Undergraduate Degree in Engineering",  (go to this section now ) and any prerequisites to these courses, or pass equivalent credit examinations with a grade of "B" or better.
