Environmental Engineering (M.S.)
Illinois Tech鈥檚 Master of Science in Environmental Engineering program builds a strong foundation in multiple areas of environment engineering through coursework and research specialization. Areas of specialization include: air pollution engineering (indoor and/or outdoor), building energy systems, energy/environment/economics (E3), environmental chemistry, environmental resource management, hazardous waste engineering, and water and wastewater engineering.
Students are expected to conduct research at a rigorous level above and beyond the coursework-only Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering degree program.
Program Overview
Students will build a strong foundation in multiple areas of environment engineering through coursework and specialization in one research area. Learn how to conduct research at a rigorous level beyond the coursework-only Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering degree program.
Career Opportunities
Our Master of Science in Environmental Engineering degree program will prepare you for such careers as:
- Senior environmental engineer
- Environmental health and safety director
- Water project engineer
The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering utilizes a mixed-media curriculum, providing students with the opportunity to gain experience in a combination of environmental engineering fields before selecting a specialization in one research area.
Students with a variety of academic backgrounds are eligible to apply for the program, including those with undergraduate degrees in non-engineering disciplines. However, students from non-engineering disciplines may be required to take deficiency courses in their first year of study or prior to acceptance into the program.
