Masters of Science in Civil Engineering
Environmental Engineering
- The program in Environmental Engineering was established for mitigating environmental problems.
- It has grown to include water and wastewater engineering, air pollution control, water quality control, solid and hazardous waste management, and energy and the environment.
- Students are trained for positions as consulting engineers, environmental affairs engineers for large companies, or officials in state or federal agencies.
- Prerequisites
- A Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering.
- Students with a degree in other engineering disciplines, mathematics, or physics are required to take additional engineering courses.
- All students must have taken the following (or equivalent) courses:
- CE 443 - Environmental Chemistry (3)
- CE 453 - Water Quality Control (3)
Note: CE 443, and CE 453 do not count as graduate credit
- The prerequisites above are determined by review of the student's undergraduate program.
- Requirements
- A minimum of 27 units of course work beyond the Bachelor's degree
- 24 units of required courses
