Advance Your Career in the Growing Field of Environmental Engineering

Our online M.S. in Environmental Engineering focuses on creating a fully supported learning environment with cross-collaboration, flexible schedules, and short terms. 

With flexible scheduling and 6 to 7.5-week terms, you can complete the program in two years, allowing for an ideal work-life-school balance. 

Participants will gain expertise in developing eco-friendly solutions to intricate environmental challenges by examining key areas such as environmental protection issues, water quality, water purification, wastewater treatment, solid waste management systems, site remediation, and emission control measures.

To pursue a career as a licensed environmental engineer, obtaining a bachelor's degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program is essential to fulfill the educational prerequisites.

 
Selected Courses and Programs

  • Analysis of physical and chemical processes in natural and engineered systems for water pollution control. Unit processes covered include, but are not limited to, aeration and gas transfer, sedimentation, filtration, coagulation/flocculation, absorption, chemical stabilization, ion exchange, disinfection. Design methodologies and operational aspects of treatment are also considered

  • This course provides an in-depth study of principles of biological treatment of aquatic wastes (municipal, industrial, and/or hazardous). Suspended and attached growth processes commonly in use are covered. Emphasis is given to design and operational aspects of activated sludge, trickling filters, and rotating biocontactors. On-site treatment processes are also covered.

  • This course covers the fundamental principles of contaminant behavior in the environment. Contaminant physical-chemical properties, transport, and transformation mechanisms affecting contaminant distribution among air, water, and solid domains are studied in-depth. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, environmental interface equilibria, advective and diffusional transport; biochemical exchange in atmospheric, aquatic, and terrestrial domains. Environmental modeling is also considered.

  • Review of techniques of enforcement of state and federal pollution control laws and regulations; effects on waste treatment criteria and design and evalution of municipal ordinances; preparation of environmental assessments and impact statements.

  • ËÄÉ«AV of New Haven offers a wide variety of in-depth courses that create a transformational educational experience for our students.
