M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology provides comprehensive educational and research opportunities in air, land, and water science. The 30-credit program offers focus areas in environmental biotechnology, wastewater reclamation, air quality monitoring, and industrial ecology. Notable facilities include the state-of-the-art Ford Environmental Science and Technology building and the Daniel Laboratory. The program is a key component of Institute-wide initiatives in nanotechnology, sustainable technology, and energy-water-food systems. Students build advanced skills in groundwater modeling, environmental risk assessment, and pollution control. Both thesis and non-thesis options are available, with the thesis track typically requiring two years of independent research. Research participation is extensive, involving collaborations with faculty in bioengineering and bioscience. Graduates typically secure pathways as environmental engineers, sustainability managers, and regulatory specialists in engineering firms and government agencies.
