“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

The Environmental Science & Engineering Ph.D. Program

Welcome to the Environmental Science and Engineering Doctoral Program website.  This site describes program requirements along with the academic, research, and professional activities of our faculty and students.

The Environmental Science and Engineering Doctoral Program is an interdisciplinary collaboration of 71 faculty members from the Colleges of Science and Engineering, and 24 affiliated faculty from other Colleges.  We currently have 54 Ph.D. students in the program.  Our graduates have been placed in academic, government, industrial, and consulting positions.

Prospective students are encouraged to review the research interests of the faculty and contact the faculty members directly about becoming members of their research team.

We are pleased that you are interested in us and hope that you find our webpage helpful.  Please let us know of any suggestions you may have on how this website may better serve as an information resource.
