A Flexible Program for Full- or Part-Time Study
NJIT’s MS in Environmental Engineering has features that make it attractive to both students and employers. A full-time student can complete the degree in one year, and the program can be individualized for candidates with either engineering or non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds.
All required courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening, making it possible to pursue the degree part-time. There is an online distance-learning option for many courses to accommodate professional commitments that occasionally require absence from class.
MS in Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers are essential participants in the planning, design and construction of waste water and potable water treatment plants, solid waste disposal systems, site remediation and emission control measures, and other similar projects. Major corporations, government agencies, private consulting and construction firms, and universities are just some of the organizations that employ environmental engineers.In-depth knowledge in environmental engineering is essential for professional practice as well as for research. Full-time faculty members with a range of academic and professional practice experience as well as by adjunct instructors who are experts in their field teach the courses. Those students interested in research at the master’s level or continuing their education at the doctoral level should consider working with faculty involved in one of the university’s related major research centers.
The MS in Environmental Engineering is designed for those who want both specialized course work and the flexibility to tailor their program to their needs.
