Geoenvironmental Engineering
The objective of the Geoenvironmental Engineering program is to produce engineers capable of identifying, preventing and solving problems involving facilities that may adversely affect the environment.
The interdisciplinary geoenvironmental engineering program encompasses concepts, curricula, and faculty from the environmental, geotechnical, and water resources engineering disciplines. The graduate program in geoenvironmental engineering leads to the degrees of master of science and doctor of philosophy. Students studying toward an MS degree can pursue a thesis or a course work option of 30 semester hours. MS students following the thesis option typically take 12 credits in a 鈥渉ome鈥 discipline, 6 credits in each of the two other disciplines, and a 6 credit thesis. The PhD degree requires additional course work beyond MS degree as well as a dissertation.
