Oregon State University's Environmental Engineering graduate program focuses on mastering core scientific and engineering concepts to address environmental challenges in both natural and engineered systems. The curriculum cultivates robust analytical, design, and management skills for applying biological, chemical, and physical processes. Graduates pursue careers in consulting, environmental assessment, resource management, or academic research. Key research areas include toxic materials, microbial ecology, environmental transport mechanisms, water chemistry, and aquatic resource studies.
Students can earn Master of Science (M.S.), coursework-based Master of Engineering (MEng), or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees through the School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering. Each program adapts to students' specific aspirations, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration among CBEE faculty and other engineering departments. This flexible approach enables customized educational pathways aligned with professional objectives.
