Mission

To provide engineers and scientists with advanced graduate education in the broad areas of environmental engineering

Program Objectives

1. Provide students an understanding of fundamental scientific and engineering principles necessary to manage and solve environmental challenges in natural and engineered systems
2. Provide advanced course work and research programs in environmental engineering
3. Enable students to develop increased professional competence in the broad areas of environmental engineering

Degree Requirements

Thirty(30), or thirty-six (36), semester hours are required for the Master of Science Degree in Engineering depending upon which of the following three options the student selects with approval of his or her department chairperson and/or advisor:

Option 1 Twenty-four (24) semester hours of coursework plus a six-hour thesis
Option 2 Twenty-seven (27) semester hours of coursework plus a three-hour project
Option 3 Thirty-six (36) semester hours of coursework

Option 1 Requires a formal written thesis, formal presentation and oral exam.
Option 2 Requires a written project report, formal presentation and oral exam.
Option 3 Requires an oral exam.

To remain in “good standing,” students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (“B average).
