UT?s bachelor?s degree program prepares students to create sustainable cities and protect our air, water and land. We strive to educate environmental engineers to become agents of change ? to not only reduce the environmental footprint, but to create a ?positive handprint.?

Environmental engineering bachelor's degree highlights:

  • National reputation.?The University of Toledo College of Engineering offers some of the country?s best engineering programs. The college is one of just eight nationwide to require student co-ops. This paid, professional work experience often leads to full-time work for our graduates.
  • Real projects with real clients. Labs and design projects teach UT?s environmental engineering majors how to solve real problems and implement their ideas. Students often work with community partners such as schools and inner-city housing projects to develop rain gardens and other green projects.
  • Well-rounded education.?UToledo students take engineering classes. But they also complete course work in environmental and natural sciences, economics, policy and law. This multidisciplinary emphasis is unique in the engineering world.?
  • Passionate peers.?UT environmental engineering students are especially motivated, engaged activists and students.
