Accelerated 5-Year B.S./M.S. in Environmental Engineering/ Environmental Science and Management The 5-year B.S./M.S. program combines two degrees: a B.S. in Environmental Engineering 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. It may be necessary for students to take up to 18 credits each semester as an undergraduate. 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 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 third and fourth years, students must have applied and been accepted into the B.S./M.S. program. Recommended Graduate Courses during the Junior/Senior Years: GENV 500 Environmental Research Methods GENV 536 Environmental Chemistry GENV 549 Industrial Safety GMBA Courses

Total combined credit hours for the 4 + 1 B.S./M.S. Program includes 153 credits (123 undergraduate credits plus 30 graduate credits). Consult the Graduate Catalog for additional information about other requirements for the M.S. program. Environmental Engineering majors are eligible to complete the Environmental Management track within the M.S. program.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MINOR The Environmental Science minor is intended for students in science and engineering disciplines that wish to pursue a career with an environmental emphasis. The program is administered by the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering and coursework is intended to provide students with a broad framework that focuses on the relationship between human activities and environmental impacts. Students have five credits of elective courses (ENV courses) to choose from that align with their career interests. All students completing the appropriate prerequisite chemistry courses (CHEM 111, 112, 114 and 115) are eligible for the minor program. Minor declaration forms are available from the environmental science and engineering department and should be submitted to the registrar’s office prior to graduation. Please note that environmental engineering and freshwater and marine biology majors are only eligible for the minor if they take 15 additional credits of ENV courses that are not a required course for their major. Environmental Science Minor (minimum 18 credits) Required Courses (13 credits) ENV 120 Principles of Environmental Science I ENV 121 Principles of Energy and Climate Change ENV 336 Water Quality ENV 337 Water Quality Lab ENV 400 Environmental Toxicology Electives (minimum 5 credits) 5 credits or more from any ENV courses
