Through hands-on experiences, students apply classroom knowledge to effectively solve environmental problems using monitoring, assessment, management, and communication. The focus of these experiences is to manage environmental challenges in air, water, soil/sediment, and natural systems, using modern tools and technologies.

Several professional certifications can be achieved through the Environmental Technology Program. Upon successful completion of ET 301, students will receive Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 40 hour Training. This certification is required for individuals who conduct emergency response at hazardous waste spills and other areas of hazardous waste clean-up sites. Upon successful completion of ET 303, students receive the OSHA 30-hour General Industry training card for industrial workplace safety.
