Degree Requirements: Environmental Engineering
The upper-division program in Environmental Engineering includes coursework in chemistry, biology, environmental engineering fluid mechanics, hydrology, and the design of drinking water and municipal wastewater treatment systems. A specially-designed laboratory course provides hands-on experience.
The degree program contains a number of required design courses, but also substantial flexibility to allow students to tailor their education to fit their personal interests.
