Prospective Graduate Students: Environmental Science and Engineering (Ph.D.)
Basic Degree Information/Description:
The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Environmental Science and Engineering is designed to provide students enrolled in the program with advanced training in research in many aspects of the environmental sciences and environmental engineering. The main emphasis of the new doctoral degree will be on natural resources, especially water resources, land and air resources. Dissertation research could focus on hydrology, water quality, water pollution control, waste disposal, environmental quality, remediation, ecology, conservation, restoration, contaminants, air pollution control, global change, atmospheric chemistry, environmental geochemistry, environmental microbiology, microbial geochemistry, volcanic hazards, tectonics, seismic hazards, or other anthropogenic changes. Overall, students will be educated in the fundamental areas of Environmental Science and Engineering.
Why pursue a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering
- Financial Support. All doctoral applicants applying for full-time status may compete for up to $20,000 stipend support per academic year. Other funding opportunities, such as teaching assistant and research assistant positions are available.
- The Department has state-of-the-art laboratories for each major technical area. They are housed in the Engineering Building, as well as the new Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building. These laboratories are used for hands-on research training of graduate students. In addition, computer labs are available for demonstrating state-of-the art application software similar to the ones used by practicing engineers.
- Scholarships are available from a variety of sources, while graduate students may be fully supported through research and teaching assistantships.
