Accelerated 5-Year B.S./M.S. in Environmental Science/ Environmental Science and Management The 5-year B.S./M.S. program combines two degrees: a B.S. in Environmental Science with an M.S. in Environmental Science and Management. Eligibility for the program is competitive and admission is based on overall academic performance and scientific/math aptitude. Early planning is essential and students must apply for the combined B.S./M.S. program during the junior year. In addition to the B.S. requirements, students can complete a total of 9 graduate credits during the senior years (see below). In order to receive credit at the graduate level for courses taken during the fourth year, students must have applied and been accepted into the B.S./M.S. program. Recommended Graduate Courses during the Junior/Senior Year: GENV 500 Environmental Research Methods GENV 536 Environmental Chemistry GENV 540 Industrial Health I GMBA Courses

Total combined credit hours for the 4 + 1 B.S./M.S. Program includes 150 (120 undergraduate credits plus 30 graduate credits). Consult the Graduate Catalog for additional information about other requirements for the M.S. program. Environmental Science majors are eligible to complete either the Environmental Health and Safety or the Environmental Management track within the M.S. program.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering program at Gannon University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. It is a demanding curriculum that combines mathematics, the basic sciences, and engineering principles. The Environmental Engineering program at Gannon offers small classes and a low student-to-faculty ratio. Each environmental engineering student will work with a faculty mentor on a senior design project to bring together the theoretical and practical aspects of engineering design to solve an environmental problem. Students must demonstrate an introductory level knowledge of environmental issues associated with air, land, and water systems and associated environmental health impacts; an understanding of concepts of professional engineering design and practice; the roles and responsibilities of public institutions and private organizations pertaining to environmental engineering, and a proficiency in advanced principles and practice relevant to water quality and environmental health. Graduates of our program are employed with government agencies, environmental consulting firms, and private industry.
