The interdisciplinary Environmental Engineering Program within the College of Engineering offers a B.S. degree as well as a Minor in Environmental Engineering. The Environmental Engineering B.S. degree at UConn is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

In our undergraduate program, students acquire the technical competency, communication skills, and global awareness to assume a leadership role in the environmental management arena of the future. Students experience a holistic learning environment where they integrate principles from chemical, physical, biological, and social sciences, and engineering disciplines. Field investigation, hypothesis testing by analytical and numerical experimentation, recognition of societal and economic constraints, and synthesis through mathematical modeling are integrated in the analysis of environmental problems and the creation of appropriate solutions. This knowledge base will be tested in the evaluation of real-world natural and engineered processes that impact environmental quality.
