- Students begin from a common set of graduate courses that address infrastructure modeling and systems analysis. They explore the theoretical principles and design associated with environmental and water resources engineering as they relate to water, soil, and air, complemented by courses in risk reduction and communication. Additional courses are selected from graduate electives that draw from the expertise of the Mason faculty and accomplished practitioners who lead national engineering practice.
- The environmental and water resources engineering concentration builds on undergraduate civil engineering education. Students with related undergraduate degrees, for example, in other branches of engineering or in the related physical sciences, may be admitted with a requirement to complete civil engineering undergraduate articulation courses before beginning coursework creditable toward the M.S. degree.

VISA & Work Study
VISA
- Most students come to the United States on an F-1 visa, but students who are sponsored by the U.S. government, their home government, or another organization may be required to enter the United States on a J-1 Exchange Visitor's Visa. To be issued an immigration document (Form I-20 for F-1 status or Form DS2019 for J-1 status), students must prove they have sufficient financial support to cover their expenses while at Mason.
- International students outside the United States may use their immigration documentation to schedule a visa interview with the U.S. embassy or consulate nearest their place of residence and apply for an F-1 or J-1 student visa.
