Academic Program

Missouri S&T offers programs of study that lead to a master of science (MS) in Civil Engineering, MS in Environmental Engineering, and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree.

The MS with a thesis option requires a minimum of 24 semester credit hours of graduate coursework plus 6 credit hours of research. The MS degree with a non-thesis option requires 30 credit hours of graduate work.

Research Opportunities

Research is an integral component of the graduate experience. Research and laboratory work is conducted in the Mathes Environmental Research Laboratories in Butler-Carlton Hall. The labs have state-of-the-art instrumentation to conduct a wide range of environmental analyses. Interdisciplinary environmental research efforts with industry and faculty at other institutions are numerous.

Admissions Requirements

Prospective students for the MS in Environmental Engineering may have a BS degree from any engineering discipline from an approved program at a college or university of recognized standing.

In some cases, student with non-engineering degrees (e.g. chemistry, physics, geology, or biology) will be considered if deficiencies in mathematics, science and engineering are remedied.

A minimum GPA of 3.0 (based on a $.0 scale) is required for both MS and PhD program applicants. GRE scores of 1100 on quantitative plus verbal and analytical writing of 3.5 are required. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 is mandatory for international applicants. Conditional admission to the MS program is possible as determined by the graduate school and the department.
