Program Description
The graduate program in environmental engineering science at Syracuse has earned a reputation for superior quality. Degree recipients working in government, industry, and education have made important contributions to the profession. The environmental engineering faculty provide coursework and research opportunities in environmental chemistry, water and wastewater treatment, applied microbiology, hydrology and water resources, sustainability, groundwater remediation, and green water infrastructure.
In addition to these focus areas, the students and faculty in environmental engineering science engage in interdisciplinary teaching and research, expanding the opportunities available to graduate students. The Department is home to the Center for Environmental Systems Engineering, which serves faculty in environmental, chemical, and mechanical engineering with a shared interest in environmental systems. We also engage in joint teaching with faculty in the School of Architecture and SUNY-ESF.
