MSc inżynierii środowiska

In an increasingly interconnected world, the field of environmental engineering has expanded rapidly to include areas such as water and air pollution, groundwater contamination, solid and hazardous waste management, and industrial waste treatment.

Recognized nationally as a leader in experiential education, the University of New Haven offers an exciting, hands-on, 30-credit master’s degree program in environmental engineering that can be completed on-campus or fully online. Students in the program learn to develop sustainable solutions to complex environmental problems through concentrated study of environmental protection issues, water quality, water purification, wastewater treatment, solid waste management systems, site remediation, and emission control measures. A required research project allows students to explore complex contemporary environmental issues and apply knowledge obtained through integrated classroom and field study in the program.

Some additional highlights of the program include:

• Vigorous, professionally-oriented courses enriched with field applications and case studies
• Effective instruction in a learning environment that combines small classes and individual attention with state-of-the-art instructional technologies
• Convenient scheduling for part-time students who are working professionals
• Program focus areas in water resources, water, and wastewater treatment, and industrial and hazardous waste management
• World-class faculty with expertise and research in water resources, treatment, and remedial processes for environmental control
• Rooted in professional practice, the program draws on in-depth case studies and research to prepare students to solve complex environmental problems.

Real-World Application

Students take their pick from an array of research opportunities. Typically, they participate in laboratory or modeling research activities under the close supervision of a faculty advisor. Students may also pursue research independently as part of their research project or through internships in industrial or governmental partners. Such research may culminate in presentations at scientific conferences or in being published in research journals.

Start online or on-campus classes up to six times per year.

The University of New Haven, founded on the Yale campus in 1920, is a private, coeducational university that has been recognized by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report for academic excellence. Located between New York City and Boston in the shoreline city of West Haven, the University is a diverse and vibrant community of more than 7,500 students from across the globe.

Over the past 15 years, under the leadership of President Steven H. Kaplan, the University has experienced significant growth — both in enrollment and in the expansion of the University’s West Haven campus. Full-time undergraduate enrollment has more than doubled, and first-year applications have nearly tripled. In the last decade, the University has completed more than $300 million in major capital projects while launching 26 new academic programs. The University has also added campuses in Prato, Italy, and Orange, Conn.
