In most cases, a post-graduate degree such as a Master of Science is an important goal at some point during a career. A Master of Science in Environmental Engineering is often required for even entry-level positions in this specialization area. We provide more flexibility in course selection than any other civil engineering program in the United States. This allows students to pursue their own interests, but still remain within the framework of an accredited program. As a small program, students and faculty know each other very well.
Students receive personal attention.
Opportunities for leadership and involvement abound, including participation in research projects. The regular faculty teaches required courses, while many elective classes are offered by professional practitioners to provide a different viewpoint. We pride ourselves on excellence in teaching throughout the department. Our faculty is passionately interested in both educational and research innovation. Many faculty have received support from sources such as the National Science Foundation to develop new course materials or to disseminate new teaching techniques.
