MS Curriculum

The curriculum addresses the multi-disciplinary nature of the field emphasizing the theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of environmental science/technology and environmental fluid mechanics.

It includes the study of the physical, chemical and biological processes that control fate and transport in natural environments and determine the efficacy of engineered treatment and control measures.

Course Calendar

The 48 credits of the MS programme requires 41 credits of coursework and a 7-credit project spanning 2 quarters.
