Program Description
Our complex world faces many challenges, including contaminated water supplies, hazardous wastes, an increasing population and limited resources. Environmental engineers help to solve many of the environmental problems faced by society using the principles of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and earth sciences. An undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering opens the door to a variety of rewarding career options. Environmental engineers protect water quality by designing water and wastewater treatment systems; ensure public safety by managing solid, hazardous and radioactive wastes; improve air quality by controlling emissions from mobile and stationary sources; reduce human health risks by tracking contaminants as they move through the environment; clean up toxic waste spills and restore historically contaminated sites; and design a more sustainable future by understanding our use of resources.
The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Engineering consists of 127 credit hours. All students participate in one professional seminar course and complete a capstone design project.
Students who want to change majors into Environmental Engineering must have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher.
Combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Science
Qualified Environmental Engineering undergraduate students can reduce the time to earn a master’s degree by using a limited number of graduate courses to satisfy the requirements of both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students who have earned a grade-point average of 3.4 or above and who have completed 90 credit hours can apply for the program. Details are available at www.clemson.edu/eees.
