Introduction
Illinois Tech’s Master of Science in Environmental Engineering program builds a strong foundation in multiple areas of environmental engineering through coursework and research specialization. Areas of specialization include air pollution engineering (indoor and/or outdoor), building energy systems, energy/environment/economics (E3), environmental chemistry, environmental resource management, hazardous waste engineering, and water and wastewater engineering.
Students are expected to conduct research at a rigorous level above and beyond the coursework-only Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering degree program.
Program Overview
Students will build a strong foundation in multiple areas of environmental engineering through coursework and specialization in one research area. Learn how to conduct research at a rigorous level beyond the coursework-only Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering degree program.
