Graduate School Requirements

Admission generally requires a B.S. in an engineering field. Regular admission into the M.S. program requires a 3.0 or higher GPA in undergraduate engineering program or a GRE score of 1150 or higher (analytical + quantitative). Provisional admission into the M.S. program will be considered on an individual basis. Students from science backgrounds are also encouraged to apply with the understanding that a background "engineering core" will become part of the overall graduate program.

Degree requirements include a research thesis and a program of courses are to be established in consultation among the student, the major advisor, and the graduate committee. Depending upon the student’s background, deficiency courses in sciences or engineering including one credit each of air and water sampling and analysis (ENVE 1180/2170) may be required as part of the graduate program. Seminar requirements include one credit of ENGR 5150 Graduate Writing Seminar, and two credits of ENVE 5940 Graduate Seminar.

Candidates for a master’s degree must present their thesis orally and pass an oral examination on the thesis work. The oral examination may also include general questions related to environmental engineering.
