MSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering - Environmental Engineering in Davis United States | University of California Davis

Addressing contemporary and changing challenges related to clean air and water worldwide, regionally, and locally. The UC Davis environmental engineering graduate program delivers advanced training to equip graduates with solutions for complex environmental quality issues across global, regional, and community scales. With faculty specializing in water, wastewater, air, and soil systems, students gain a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to environmental challenges. Graduate research drives foundational progress in: 1) identifying causes and processes behind regional air pollution and global climate shifts, 2) developing strategies to enhance the eco-sustainability of built infrastructure, 3) advancing water and wastewater treatment to safeguard public health and aquatic environments, 4) optimizing water resource allocation, distribution, and usage, and 5) innovating techniques to analyze, simulate, and control biological processes for contaminant remediation in surface and groundwater. Our adaptable graduate program focuses on pressing environmental concerns, making this list non-exhaustive. Students can pursue Master of Science degrees (thesis or non-thesis options) or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Non-thesis MS programs, carefully designed with faculty guidance, may be finished in 9-12 months. Financial assistance is frequently available via research grants, fellowships, teaching positions, departmental funding, or industry partnerships.
