• The MS in Environmental Engineering in Drexel University is a 15-18 months and 45 credit program.
  • It is an on-campus program offered on both a full-time and a part-time basis.
  • Both thesis and a non-thesis options are available for the students.
  • The degree consists of five core courses (in topics of chemistry, statistics, analysis of physical systems, and policy), completion of sequences in two areas (e.g. treatment processes, risks, water resources, or environmental modeling), additional elective courses, and/or the MS thesis.
  • The following are some examples of topical areas for technical electives:
    • Air pollution
    • Hazardous and solid waste
    • Human health risk assessment
    • Water resources
    • Water and wastewater treatment
    • Sustainability
  • An environmental engineering graduate degree program should provide an understanding of the forces governing industry, a global viewpoint, and the knowledge and entrepreneurial skills needed to advance careers in practice and research or to prepare for entry into a PhD program in related fields.
