School of Engineering - [Manhattan College]

Mission

The Environmental Engineering graduate degree programs are designed to provide engineers and scientists with advanced training in various subdisciplines of environmental engineering. Emphasis is placed on both current applications and the underlying theoretical basis for sound engineering practice, in keeping with the humanistic need for maintaining and improving environmental quality.

Objectives

The program seeks to obtain for the student at the masters level a broad general competence in the areas of water quality, air quality, geohydrology, environmental chemistry, water and wastewater treatment, and the modeling of environmental systems. In addition, the program provides more advanced course work and research programs in the chemistry, treatment, and environmental modeling subdisciplines, to enable a student to develop increased professional competence.

Requirements for Admission

Master of Engineering (Environmental Engineering)

Applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree in engineering from a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology or from a recognized foreign institution. Applicants must present adequate preparation in two courses in chemistry, two courses in physics, three courses in calculus, differential equations, fluid mechanics, environmental engineering, and statistics. These undergraduate courses must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 with no grade lower than a C. These prerequisite courses will not satisfy any requirements for the Master of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) degree. Generally, students must complete prerequisite courses before they are permitted to register for graduate courses. Exceptions require the approval of the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Master of Science in Environmental Engineering

Applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree in science. Applicants must present adequate preparation in two courses in chemistry, two courses in physics, three courses in calculus, differential equations, fluid mechanics, environmental engineering, and statistics. These undergraduate courses must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 with no grade lower than a C. Theses prerequisite courses will not satisfy any requirements for the Master of Science in Environmental Engineering degree. Generally, students must complete prerequisite courses before they are permitted to register for graduate courses. Exceptions require the recommendation of the Chair(s) of the Department of Environmental Engineering. Further information may be obtained from the Graduate Division Catalogue.
