Master of Science in Environmental Quality Engineering

The Environmental Quality Engineering curriculum is designed for graduate engineers and scientists who wish to pursue a career in the areas of water supply, treatment, and distribution; waste treatment; stream pollution; air pollution; and solid waste management. Consideration is given for broad study of the environment, prevention and abatement of quality deterioration, and solutions to environmental problems

Graduates will be prepared to hold positions in federal, state, and municipal agencies as well as in consulting engineering offices.

Students who are working toward the Master of Science in Environmental Quality Engineering must have a baccalaureate degree in an engineering discipline.

For students having non-engineering degrees, an interdisciplinary program is available leading to the Master of Science in Environmental Quality Science.
