Description

The environmental engineering minor allows students to learn about the scientific, engineering, and social foundations of the field. It prepares them to incorporate sustainable best practices and apply responsible management of natural resources into their future careers. Students enrolled in this program have the option to focus on one specific discipline or explore several areas of environmental engineering.

Admission Requirements

The Environmental Engineering minor is available to all University students who have the necessary prerequisites to take the courses accepted for the minor and have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or above. To be admitted to the program, students must submit a Declaration of Minor form signed by their academic advisor, the environmental engineering minor coordinator, and the academic dean of their home school/college.

Course Requirements

To complete the minor, students are required to take a minimum of six courses (at least 18 credits), including three core courses and three upper level (300 or above) elective courses. Students must take at least three CEE courses that do not apply to their major requirements. Civil engineering students can fulfill this requirement by taking at least two elective courses from the provided list that would not count toward their major.

Students who wish to focus their minor in specific areas - Hydrology and Hydraulics, Water Quality, or Sustainability - should consult with the minor coordinator to plan their coursework.
