Master of Science in Environmental Engineering
45.0 credits
Degree Requirements
The MS in Environmental Engineering requires 45.0 credits. Both thesis and a non-thesis options are available. It is possible to finish the MS
degree on either a part-time or a full-time basis.
The degree consists
of five core courses (in topics of chemistry, statistics, analysis of physical systems,
