Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering

In this rapidly, changing technological world, graduate degrees are highly desirable and most often master's degrees are required to hold professional civil and environmental engineering positions in the industry, and in federal, in state and municipal government agencies. The department offers Master of Engineering (M.E.), Master of Science (M.S.) both in Civil Engineering and in Environmental Engineering., and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Doctor of Engineering (D. Eng.) in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The department's graduate programs are designed to educate the technological leaders of the future in civil and environmental engineering, and are structured to accommodate both full-time and part-time students. The specialty areas include: coastal, geotechnical, structural, transportation and water resources engineering in civil engineering, and sub-fields in environmental engineering including water quality, water and wastewater treatment, hydrologic processes, water resources, environmental engineering microbiology, air quality, hazardous and solid waste, and pollution control prevention.

Environmental Engineering master's degree applicants must have a bachelor’s degree, preferably, in civil or environmental engineering with a strong background in mathematics and physical sciences.

GPA Requirements:

Regular admission to a master’s degree program generally requires an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Applicants with a lower undergraduate GPA may be considered for regular or provisional admission on the basis of successful engineering work experience or other credentials demonstrating potential for success in the graduate program.

GRE:

The submission of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required unless the applicant holds an ABET accredited engineering degree from an institution.

TOEFL iBT of 79 (550 paper based); IELTS overall band of 6.5; GRE Verbal Reasoning of 152, a GCSE or GCE score of "O" level pass in English; CPE grade of A, B, C.
