Stevens is a renowned Engineering school, which always has the best programs for engineers.
And there are also lots of excellent alumni, as well as great people graduating from Stevens. So Stevens was the top choice for me.
Environmental Engineering Master's Program
Prepare to solve the most daunting challenges facing our environment today and in the future with an in-demand degree.
As organizations public and private strive to create a more sustainable world, there is a great need for specialized engineers who can help repair environmental damage and prevent future degradation. In Stevens’ environmental engineering master’s program, you’ll gain experience addressing problems like recovering resources from waste and designing processes to restore air, soil and water quality in contaminated sites. Graduates of our program are highly sought-after by government offices, consulting firms, law firms and utility companies.
The Stevens Advantage
Stevens’ location right across the river from New York City gives students a unique view of how urban development impacts the environment, particularly inland and coastal waterways. On campus, you’ll have access to world-class research centers developing advanced innovations in environmental engineering, including the Coastal Engineering Research Group, Earth Observation and Hydrometeorology Laboratory, and Marine Hydrodynamic and Hydrokinetic Laboratory.
