Environmental Engineering
Current research activities encompass physical/chemical/biological wastewater treatment, hazardous waste treatment, drinking water treatment, groundwater and soil remediation, and indoor air pollution control. While the program is tailored to the individual, it provides students with a strong background in fundamental chemical, biological, physical and environmental systems. Research and laboratory work is conducted in the Environmental Research Center (ERC) on the Missouri S&T campus. The ERC has state-of-the-art instrumentation to conduct a wide range of environmental analyses. Interdisciplinary environmental research efforts with industry and faculty at other institutions are numerous.

Master's degree admissions requirements:

Graduate Studies   Student Financial Aid

Most of the financial support available for graduate students is associated with specific research projects and is dependent upon the availability of grants from individual faculty members.

Below is a list of environmental engineering faculty members. Their name links to a faculty profile page that contains their credentials and research interests.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (TAs) will be considered, but not guaranteed, after completion of first academic semester on campus.
