The University of Connecticut offers an Environmental Engineering Program through its College of Engineering. This program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of environmental engineering principles and practices.

Program Overview

The Environmental Engineering Program at the University of Connecticut is a multidisciplinary program that combines coursework in engineering, science, and mathematics to provide students with a strong foundation in environmental engineering. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in environmental engineering, including positions in government, industry, and consulting.

MENG Degree

The Master of Engineering (MENG) degree in Environmental Engineering is a professional degree that emphasizes the improvement of essential technical and professional skills. The program is designed for practicing engineers who are attending classes on a part-time basis. The MENG degree is offered through distance learning courses, which are available after regular work hours and with asynchronous content.

MENG Program Requirements

The MENG program requires 30 credit hours, which includes:

• 4 MENG core courses (includes capstone project)
• 6 technical environmental engineering courses
