Master of Science [M.S] [Environmental Engineering] From Montana Tech

There are opportunities for graduate research in the areas of air, water quality and pollution control; hazardous waste minimization, treatment, and control; and waste cleanup. Current students are actively involved in government and industry sponsored projects in air and water quality engineering, biotechnology applied to minerals wastes, and land disposal of waste sludges. Specific areas of current research include the water chemistry of heavy metals, and hazardous organics; ground and surface water modeling; air emission inventories; biosorption of heavy metals; wetland research, land reclamation, atmospheric diffusion processes; and cleanup of ?RCRA? and ?super-fund? sites.

Option A: Thesis

Candidates for a master?s degree must write or publish a paper and present their thesis and pass an oral examination. The oral examination may also include general questions related to environmental engineering.

Option B: Non-Thesis

Candidates for a master?s degree must present their project work and successfully complete a comprehensive test.
