NJIT’s BS in Environmental Engineering program complements and supports New Jersey’s role as a national leader in the development of regulations and strategies for protecting the environment. At NJIT, environmental engineering is a key part of a broad curriculum that also includes environmental science and policy, green manufacturing, and sustainability. Environmental engineering students have opportunities in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the field to broaden their perspectives and educational experiences. The university’s Otto York Center for Environmental Engineering and Science, the first center in the nation especially constructed for cooperative public and private research in hazardous waste management, is a national leader in environmental research. Students are exposed to on-going research in such diverse and exciting areas as water resources, water quality, physical and chemical treatment processes, solid and hazardous waste engineering, air pollution, and green manufacturing.

Environmental engineering graduates are sought by private companies and consulting firms to evaluate environmental impacts and design environmental control systems. They also work for regulatory agencies at the local, county, state, and federal levels to oversee compliance with environmental standards.

Those wishing to pursue additional education can pursue MS and PhD degrees in environmental engineering, or they may well consider graduate programs in law, business, or health related fields.
