Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering

Welcome to CEE

Graduate Program

 

Degrees Offered

The Environmental Engineering Program offers graduate study leading either to a Masters of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Engineering or to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Civil Engineering.

 


Master of Science

The high level of research activity present in the department reflects our philosophy of providing graduate students with direct, first-hand experience within each specialty. Because of the extent of externally funded research, graduate students are thrust into the solution of problems of national and international importance.At the Master's level, thesis and non-thesis options are available.

 

 

Ph.D Program

The Doctorate program in Environmental Engineering is individually tailored to each student's needs and interest. Normally, a Master's degree in engineering is required for entrance to the Ph.D. program.

The department encourages applications from students with civil or other engineering backgrounds as well as from students with backgrounds in the physical, chemical, or biological sciences. In the latter case, certain math and engineering deficiencies must be satisfied for proper progress through the program. Admission to Washington State University is granted without regard to age, sex, race, religion, color, creed, handicap, national or ethnic origin, or marital status.

 

 

Financial Assistance

Financial support is available in the form of teaching assistantships and research assistantships. These can include resident and non-resident fee waivers. There also are available special $5000 per year fellowships which are awarded in addition to the normal assistantships to highly qualified Ph.D. students. Financial aid also is available in the form of scholarships from the Department and the University. Finally, loans are available through the University's financial aid office.

 

 

Research Program

The environmental engineering faculty is involved in a broad range of research that exhibits excellence in both fundamental and applied areas. A significant and unique strength of the group is its wide range of research expertise and, more importantly, the utilization of this expertise in concept development and application. Current research encompasses the sub disciplines of air, soil, surface water, and groundwater. Current research projects include:

 

 

Students

Students pursuing advanced degrees through the Environmental Program come from throughout the nation and world. Many of our students are returning from practice and industry to pursue their graduate degree.
