B.S. in Environmental Engineering

Curriculum

The environmental engineering major requires 120-129 credits.

The curriculum provides students with an excellent background to pursue graduate study or to enter directly into professional practice in industry or government after graduation. The first year is devoted largely to courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering science common to all engineering curriculums. During the sophomore year, students take foundational courses in environmental engineering including fluid mechanics and environmental chemistry. In their last two years, students develop proficiency in water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, and sustainable design. They can also meet their own professional goals through the selection of professional electives in these and related areas. Professional electives are selected in consultation with the student’s faculty mentor or academic advisor.
