B.S. in Environmental Engineering

Colorado State University

Environmental engineers design solutions to prevent future environmental damage as well as reduce and resolve existing pollution problems. The undergraduate curriculum in Environmental Engineering is based on a strong foundation in physical, chemical, and biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering fundamentals. The All-University Core Curriculum (AUCC) provides a broad background in communication, liberal arts, humanities, and social sciences. Upper-division courses address engineering applications for prevention and control of air, water, and land pollution. Required courses that are specific to the Environmental Engineering major come from several engineering and science disciplines, including organic and environmental chemistry, microbiology, hydrology, statistics, environmental toxicology, and water treatment. Technical electives provide specialization in a particular area of interest. The program culminates in a year-long, term-based, senior capstone design experience. Graduates who pursue advanced studies are prepared for higher-level technical responsibilities.
