Masters Degree Programs Introduction

The Master's program allows specialization in a particular field of interest. The Department offers two Master's degrees: the Master of Science degree and the Master of Engineering degree.

Candidates for graduate degrees generally specialize in one of the established Graduate Research & Education Areas. Detailed programs are devised individually in conjunction with a Faculty Advisor and Supervisory Committee to provide flexibility in accommodating a student's interests. A Student's Plan of Study must be approved by the Supervisory Committee. Typical Research projects and background information on each of these areas are described in the current edition of the Environmental Engineering Sciences Research Report.

The Master's program consists of a minimum of 30 semester credits of course work with a thesis or 30 semester credits with a non-thesis project. This excludes credit for which grades of S/U are given (except for the departmental seminar, research, and thesis credits) and courses below the 5000 level with an EES or ENV prefix. Additional credits may be necessary depending on satisfaction of course competency requirements.
