The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a graduate program leading to the degree of master of science in environmental technology (ET). The program is part of the Interfaculty Graduate Environmental Sciences Program (IGESP) and it is open to non-engineering students who hold a degree in basic sciences. For more details on the IGESP program, refer to the Interdisciplinary Research Centers and Programs section of this catalogue.
In order to fulfill the graduation requirements in the MS Program, a student must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of graduate courses and a thesis equivalent to 6 credit hours, or 27 credit hours of graduate courses and a project course equivalent to 3 credit hours.
The required course work is distributed as follows:
- A minimum of two core mandatory courses (6 cr.) (ENSC 630, ENSC 640, ENSC 650)
- A minimum of three graduate core courses (9 cr.) in Environmental Engineering
- A minimum of two graduate elective courses (6 cr.) in Environmental Engineering
