Our program has an outstanding record of placing graduates in high-paying jobs and prestigious graduate programs. Environmental engineers are employed in specialized consulting firms, in state and federal agencies, in municipal public works, in corporate research and engineering groups, and in academic positions. Approximately 20–25% of environmental engineering graduates choose to continue their education toward a master’s or Ph.D. degree, and some graduates will choose to attend law or business schools. Students who earn advanced degrees in engineering usually pursue a career in advanced research or as a faculty member in a college of engineering.
