Description:
The School of Engineering and Mines Environmental Engineering graduate program combines those aspects of Chemical, Civil, and Geological Engineering most applicable to environmentally related problems. This program is, to our best knowledge, unique in the combination of these three disciplines for the training of graduate students in environmental engineering. The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to Environmental Engineering and includes the mitigation of environmental impacts from gaseous, liquid, and solid-phase emission sources. The program is oriented primarily towards a Master of Science (M.S.) degree. A research project, culminating in a master’s thesis is a major part of this program. We also offer a non-thesis M.S. degree solution. The average time for completion of the M.S. degree is 18 months. A Master’s of Engineering (M.Engr.) degree is also available. For this degree, a design-oriented project is completed in lieu of the Master’s Thesis. Special certificate programs are also offered in various concentrations and will consist of a group of three courses. The availability of a concentration will be published on the program web site, together with the schedule of courses offered, and the manner of delivery.
