What will I learn?

Illinois Tech’s Master of Science in Environmental Engineering program is oriented toward students who wish to develop more knowledge in multiple areas of environmental engineering, including water and wastewater treatment, water resources engineering, indoor and outdoor air pollution, environmental health and safety and industrial hygiene, and environmental sustainability assessment. Students can pursue the program online, as a hybrid program, or on-campus in Chicago, where you’ll have access to the city’s thriving architecture, engineering, and construction industry. The program is intended for preparation for both engineering practice and research. Students will build a strong foundation in multiple areas of environmental engineering. There are two program options: coursework-based (no research and no thesis is required) or thesis-based (coursework coupled with research, and a thesis is required).

Entry requirements

For international students

Students with a variety of academic backgrounds are eligible to apply for the program, including those with undergraduate degrees in engineering disciplines (e.g., civil, chemical, or mechanical engineering) and also non-engineering but related disciplines (e.g., environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, or others). All admitted students are expected to have completed undergraduate coursework or equivalent in chemistry, physics, mathematics through differential equations, and fluid mechanics. If students have not completed these courses, they may be required to take proficiency courses in their first year of study or in the summer before their first year of study. Each applicant will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the application review process to determine any proficiency course requirements.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
