Environmental Management
M.P.S.
Environmental Management combines environmental engineering with environmental and business management to provide breadth and perspective for the student aspiring to managerial responsibility in public or private employment. Student coursework is designed to enhance technical and problem-solving skills to meet contemporary needs of environmental managers.
Illustrative areas in this option include, but are not limited to:
- Engineering management
- Sustainable development
- Hazardous and solid waste management
- Energy resources management
- Water resource management
Program Requirements
Program prerequisite or co-requisite courses beyond the departmental requirement include at least three 3-credit undergraduate courses from at least three of the following fields: chemistry, geographic measurements, engineering mechanics, ecology, computer science, and economics.
Program mastery courses beyond the departmental requirement include a minimum of three credit hours of coursework in each of the following areas:
- Project Management (e.g., cost engineering. principles of management, engineering economics, resource economics, engineering management, systems engineering)
- Environmental Policy (e.g., environmental law, environmental impact analysis)
- Environmental Resources Management (e.g., solid or hazardous waste management, watershed management, sustainable design, sustainable development)
Study programs are flexible and are tailored to the interests and strengths of individuals.
Flexible
- Full- and part-time study programs are available.
- Master of Professional Studies is a non-thesis option to the MS well-suited for students intending to enter, or already engaged in, professional practice.
Re-training
- Suited for professional development activities
- Satisfies continuing education requirements for professionals
- Considering a change in your career path
- Projects can be within your current discipline or place of employment
