BA/BS in Environmental/Environmental Health Engineering

Environmental engineering majors prepare to clean up air, soil and water, limit pollution and plan more sustainable communities and waste strategies. The field grew out of civil engineering. The curriculum is multidisciplinary, mixing environmental engineering with earth science, chemistry, ecology, water treatment, physics and math. Elective credits can go toward a minor to build a specialization. The program suits students who want a structured path with room for exploration. Faculty know students by name, and career services and experiential options help link the coursework to employment or further study. Classes are kept small, which makes it easier to ask questions, join research and receive guidance when choosing electives, internships or a minor. Students are encouraged to meet with advisors early so that their plan of study fits their goals.
