Graduate Programs in Environmental Engineering
Explore 190+ Environmental Engineering graduate programs at 50+ universities across 8 countries.
Overview
Environmental engineering uses science and engineering to protect human health and the environment. Graduate students study water and wastewater treatment, air quality, waste management, contaminated site remediation and environmental modeling, with growing attention to climate adaptation.
A master's supports professional licensure in many countries and offers thesis or project options. A PhD prepares you for research on pollution, water resources and sustainable technology.
Graduates become water and wastewater engineers, air quality engineers, remediation specialists and environmental compliance managers. Engineering consultancies, water utilities and environmental agencies are the main employers, and investment in water infrastructure and climate resilience keeps demand steady.
Most Environmental Engineering programs charge between $19,000 and $68,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $29,000 and $68,000.
