Degree Requirements

B.S. Environmental Engineering (ABET Accredited)

The Environmental Engineering program degree plan takes the student through extensive study in math, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental engineering.  This gives the graduate the ability to design systems to meet specifications and the ability to work and communicate effectively in team-oriented, project-management-driven environments.

At student orientation you will meet with an engineering advisor. Based on data from math placement testing, SAT/ACT scores, high school experience, etc. your math readiness will be determined. It is important that you are properly prepared in math before embarking on an engineering path.

Based on advising and math readiness, one of four paths are taken:

  1. If your score is high enough and you have the necessary background in math then you can begin directly with the Calculus Plan and declare a major of ENGR (Engineering).
  2. If you are not quite ready yet for Calculus then you will begin with the Pre-Calculus Plan and still be ready to take Engineering classes. You will declare a major of ENGR (Engineering).
  3. If you are Algebra ready then the Algebra Plan lets you spend an extra year getting math ready before beginning the Engineering classes. You will declare a major of PREN (Pre-engineering).
  4. If math remediation (placement below Algebra) is required, you should declare a major of Liberal Studies (LSTU) and get advised by that department. Once you have successfully completed remediation, you will follow one of the plans above. An engineering advisor will assist in that determination.

When the student successfully completes the fundamental Calculus, Physics and Engineering courses (designated in the catalog) with a grade of “C” or better, he or she may apply for admission into upper level coursework.

Students must receive a grade of “C” or better in each course listed in the catalog as “Courses Required for BS in Environmental Engineering” in order to graduate with a BS in Environmental Engineering.
