The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees with majors in environmental or chemical engineering. The graduate program in environmental engineering builds on core courses in water quality, water and wastewater treatment, hazardous wastes, air pollution, and biological and chemical processes.
The Master of Science with a major in environmental engineering (thesis option) requires 30 units including (a) 19 units from the following courses: ChEE 500R & L, 574, 576A&B, 577, and 676; (b) 6 units from related areas, with advisor concurrence; (c) a 4-unit thesis or Master's report and (d) a 1-unit seminar (ChEE 696A).
The Master of Science with a major in environmental engineering (non-thesis) requires 30 units including: (a) 19 units from the following courses: ChEE 500 R&L, 574, 476A/576A&B, 577, and 676; (b) 6 units from related areas, with advisor concurrence; (c) 4-unit project/report and (d) a 1-unit seminar (ChEE 696A). MS students (non-thesis) must satisfy coursework proficiency in ChEE 370, SIE 305 and ChEE469A/569A or equivalents. Up to 6 of these units may be satisfied by approved undergraduate classes, provided that those units were not used toward the undergraduate degree. A prerequisite for students who enter the Master of Science (non-thesis) is 10 units of undergraduate courses with environmental engineering emphasis or other approved undergraduate classes.
The Master's of Engineering (M. Eng.) requires 27 units of course work and 3 units of a practice-oriented project.
The Doctor of Philosophy with a major in environmental engineering requires a minimum of 63 units including: (a) at least 15 coursework units that go beyond requirements for the Master's degree in environmental engineering (see above); (b) at least 2 units of seminar (696H); (c) 9-12 units of course work in chemical engineering or other minor subject (noting that these contribute to satisfaction of the 15 coursework units beyond the Master's degree requirements), and (d) 18 units of dissertation. Students who are ultimately interested in obtaining a Ph.D. in chemical engineering are encouraged to enter the Ph.D. program directly and forgo the Master of Science degree.

Program RequirementsMinimum Credit HoursCore CoursesCHEE 500, Water Chemistry for Engineers CHEE 500L, Environmental Engineering Laboratory CHEE 574, Environmental Transport Processes CHEE 576A, Water Treatment System Design CHEE 576B, Wastewater Treatment System Design CHEE 577R, Microbiology for Engineers CHEE 676, Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment Other Requirements for Successful Completion of the ProgramA student cannot receive a graduate degree unless he or she has achieved a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher on all course work taken for graduate credit, whether or not the courses are offered in satisfaction of the specific requirements for a specific graduate degree. A student whose cumulative GPA is below 3.0 for two consecutive semesters will be converted to non-degree status. Programs may allow students to take additional course work while in non-degree status. In order to graduate, the student must apply for readmission to the Graduate College through their graduate department. Readmission is not guaranteed. Other Requirements The Environmental Engineering program has two M.S. tracks: - Thesis M.S. - Non-thesis M.S> Thesis M.S. Students The thesis MS track requires 30 units of graduate level coursework. In addition to the required courses listed above, all students undertaking the Master?s thesis track must complete the following: CHEE 910, Thesis (4 units) CHEE 696A, Seminar (1 unit) Approved Electives (6 units) Non-Thesis Students A prerequisite for students who enter the Master of Science (non-thesis) is 10 units of undergraduate courses with environmental engineering emphasis or other approved undergraduate classes. Students considering this track should consult with a faculty advisor as to which courses taken as an undergraduate may satisfy unit requirements under this track. The non-thesis MS track requires 30 units of coursework. In addition to the required courses listed above, all students undertaking the Master?s non-thesis track must complete the following courses: CHEE 909, Masters Report (4 units) CHEE 696A, Seminar (1 unit) Approved Electives (6 units) |

Contact TOEFL Services to request the mailing of your score report. The University of Arizona institution code is 4832. Other Requirements for Successful Completion of the ProgramA student cannot receive a graduate degree unless he or she has achieved a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher on all course work taken for graduate credit, whether or not the courses are offered in satisfaction of the specific requirements for a specific graduate degree.

Programs may allow students to take additional course work while in non-degree status. In order to graduate, the student must apply for readmission to the Graduate College through their graduate department. Readmission is not guaranteed. With Prior M.S. If an approved M.S. degree is completed (either at the UA or elsewhere) prior to entering the doctoral program, a minimum of 15 units of coursework must be completed beyond the M.S. degree requirements. An approved minor must be completed. The required coursework in the minor may be included in the 15 unit requirement. In addition, 18 units of dissertation and 2 units of seminar must be completed. Without Prior M.S. A minimum of 36 units of approved coursework in the major area must be completed. An approved minor must be completed, but the required coursework in the minor may not be included in the 36 unit major requirement. In addition, 18 units of dissertation and 2 units of seminar experience must be completed. Minor Requirements |
