Master of Science: Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers both thesis and non-thesis options for the Master of Science with a major in environmental engineering. Either option must be approved by the student’s major professor. Both options require completion of the following core courses: 511, 512, and 513. In addition, students must complete one of the following two sequences: 550, 558, 574 (environmental engineering) or 520, 535 (water resources).
Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 semester hours of approved graduate courses, including 6 hours
of thesis and 24 hours of coursework. A minor may be selected but is not required.
Non-Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 semester hours of approved graduate courses is required, which
may include a 3-hour special problems course to be completed under the direction
of the student’s major professor. A minor may be selected but is not necessarily required. All Non-thesis M.S.
students are required to take a culminating written examination.
The written exam is offered twice a year - Fall and Spring Terms.
Environmental Seminar:
A weekly Environmental Engineering Seminar Program is held in the Fall and Spring
semesters. All full-time graduate students are required to register for ENVR
508-seminar and attend. Part time students are encouraged to register and attend
the seminar. One of the Fall seminars will cover the program requirements for
the Environmental Engineering. Seminar hours may not be applied towards degree requirements.
