Environmental engineering students gain expertise in applying engineering and natural science principles to analyze ecosystems and design solutions that safeguard both nature and human well-being. Through coursework and collaboration with distinguished faculty, they explore key disciplines including atmospheric sciences, renewable energy, water sustainability, ecological hydrology, and pollutant behavior. Alumni pursue diverse careers in private consulting, industrial sectors, municipal/state/federal agencies, or transition into fields like business, healthcare, law, and media.
These professionals serve as guardians of ecological and public health, devising innovative approaches to worldwide concerns like air purity and water security. By employing fundamental scientific concepts and holistic system analysis, they work to comprehend, construct, and preserve balanced natural and man-made ecosystems. Their role involves pinpointing urgent ecological problems, addressing environmental crises at various scales, pioneering technological or methodological advancements, and shaping regulations to implement effective solutions.
Environmental specialists act as stewards for both human populations and Earth's wellbeing. They formulate responses to planetary challenges including breathable air and potable water supplies while overseeing aquatic resources through applied science and comprehensive system analysis. These engineers detect pressing ecological concerns, tackle environmental problems locally and globally, invent novel techniques to reduce impacts, and guide policy decisions toward sustainable outcomes.
If you are an international applicant, you must have completed an accredited secondary school series equivalent to that of a U.S. high school.
Minimum scores acceptable for admission are:
TOEFL: 79 (internet-based test)
IELTS: An overall band of 6.5 on the Academic Examination
