Graduate Program - M.S. DEGREE in Environmental Engineering
The two-year M.S. in Environmental Engineering has as its primary objective the development of students' understanding of the subject matter through an emphasis on either research (Plan A) or a comprehensive understanding of a more general nature (Plan B). The M.S. can lead to a professional career in environmental engineering and can be considered a prerequisite for application to Ph. D. programs.
Admissions Requirements:
- Minimum entering GPA of 3.0 and a B.S. degree from an accredited institutuion. Provisional admission is possible for Master's degree applicants with a GPA of 2.6 if evidence of strong academic and professional ability is presented.
- Three letters of recommendation, preferably from faculty with whom the candidate has worked.
- Minimum GRE: Verbal - 450 Quantitative - 700 Analytical - 550 or Analytical Writing 4.5
International Students must present documentary evidence of ability to meet all expenses for the first year of study and an acceptable plan for financing the remainder of the program. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 is required.
Students with non-engineering degrees (biology, earth sciences,
etc.) may be admitted into the program, but will be required to
take undergraduate engineering courses, which cannot be counted
towards graduate degree requirements. The student's advisory committee
will determine appropriate undergraduate courses required (see
list below) to ensure proficiency in engineering fundamentals
and design. The student must meet grade point requirements set
forth by the Graduate School and must also complete remedial coursework
with a minimum GPA of 3.0:
