Requirements
申请环境工程硕士学位必须具有学士学位, preferably, 土木或环境工程专业，具有较强的数学和物理科学背景. 每位申请人必须提交一篇500字或以下的短文，描述个人和学术目标, professional objectives, preparation for graduate study, 以及所选择的课程将如何帮助申请人实现这些目标. 两封推荐信必须由前任或现任教授提交, or employment supervisors. 临时录取也可能是申请人在申请人打算的研究生课程以外的领域获得学士学位的申请人. In such cases there will be pre-requisite course requirements. Provisional admission may be given to those applicants who do not hold a bachelor’s degree in civil or environmental engineering; however, 这些学生除了完成研究生课程的要求外，还需要完成本科课程.
For Admission to the Environmental Engineering (M.S.) Program
硕士学位课程的常规录取通常要求本科GPA达到3分.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. 根据成功的工程工作经验或其他证明在研究生课程中成功潜力的证书，本科GPA较低的申请人可能会被考虑定期或临时录取.
除非申请人持有ABET认可的机构的工程学位，否则需要提交研究生入学考试(GRE).
所有母语不是英语的申请人都需要托福(或雅思)，除非他们的学士学位来自英语为主要语言的美国机构或国家.
