MS in Environmental Engineering

An environmental engineering master’s degree will help professionals prepare for tackling the work required of roles that control, reduce or eliminate impact on animals, plants, human populations and surroundings from the effects of adverse environmental factors. Environmental engineers also design systems, policies and processes to provide more healthful air, water and land for people and allow more sustainable existence. As a student you will address continuing needs relating to evolving environmental conditions, contaminants such as physical, chemical and biological, waste management, water and stormwater management. An environmental engineering graduate degree program should provide an understanding of the forces governing industry, a global viewpoint, and the knowledge and entrepreneurial skills needed to advance careers in practice and research or to prepare for entry into a PhD program in related fields.
