Small class sizes: Our student to faculty ratio will enable you to enjoy close interactions with instructors and their peers.

Conduct hands-on research: Our faculty members are skilled in mentoring undergraduates in wet-lab and dry-lab environments and share their numerous areas of research.

Interact with environmental engineering leaders: You can attend various networking events to land careers in industry, government, academia, and consulting firms to help clients manage their environmental issues.

Solve pressing environmental challenges: You can contribute enthusiasm, ingenuity, and creativity to solving the environmental challenges we face as a society. Different from other environmental engineering programs, we have a huge focus on sustainability to help create a circular economy.
