南卫理公会大学莱尔工程学院

The M.S.Env.E. emphasizes engineering analysis and design of both technological and management-oriented solutions to environmental problems, while broadly addressing the fundamental science and regulatory aspects of the field. A minimum of 30 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree is required. For full-time graduate students, six credit hours may involve research and completion of a thesis, with approval from the student’s adviser, with an additional 24 credit hours of coursework. The program also has the flexibility to meet the needs of part-time students, already working in industry, who typically take the nonthesis route requiring 30 credit hours of coursework. All environmental graduate courses are offered in the evening and via distance learning to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals.
