Admission generally requires a B.S. in an engineering field. Provisional admission into the M.S. program will be considered on an individual basis. Examinations Candidates for a master's degree must present their thesis orally and pass an oral examination on the thesis work. The oral examination may also include general questions related to environmental engineering. Placement Environmental Engineering majors at Montana Tech generally have the opportunity to obtain work experience prior to graduation.
Opportunities are available through summer work and cooperative education programs.
In these jobs, students work with professionals to gather and interpret data, obtain permits, and do other environmental assessments. Each student is challenged and stimulated while following an individualized course of study. Career opportunities for graduates in Environmental Engineering are expanding rapidly. National concerns such as cleanup and disposal of hazardous wastes, air toxins, indoor air quality, ground water contamination, and reclamation of disturbed lands are contributing to the growth in environmental engineering careers. Students entering this field are likely to experience ever-expanding employment opportunities.
