Course Requirements for Graduate Study in Environmental Engineering
DUKE CEE
Environmental Engineering: Environmental Process Engineering or Hydrology and Fluid Dynamics
Students must satisfy specific course requirements for each the chosen study track (EPE or HFD) in addition to the required courses for a M.S./Ph.D. degree. For more information, read degrees & certificates. See also all departmental graduate courses. In addition to courses offered within the Pratt School of Engineering, students may take courses from Duke's professional schools and institutes including the Nicholas School for the Environment and Earth Sciences, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, and the Sanford Institute of Public Policy.
Within the M.S./Ph.D. course and research opportunities offered for Duke graduate environmental engineering students, there are two tracks of study ine Environmental Engineering encompassing water resource engineering, hydrology, environmental fluid dynamics, and chemical and biological aspects of pollution ofwater, atmosphere, and soil, among others.
