Undergraduate Programs
Environmental Engineering Program Overview
Our graduates are prepared to be successful engineering professionals in private and governmental organizations, and/or students in the best graduate programs. We educate students to think critically, communicate clearly and collaborate effectively as they apply the fundamental scientific principles of engineering to environmental problems. We emphasize the importance of intellectual growth, professional ethics and service to society.
Major
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
Alternative energy sources, population growth, air pollution, urban sprawl, and the depletion of natural resources are among the challenges being addressed by undergraduates in EHE’s Environmental Engineering (BSE) program. Our quantitative, data-driven approaches to research, cross-disciplinary problem solving and service to society, and our students’ ability to leverage the resources and expertise of multiple university divisions prepare our students for careers in industry and government, as well as for top graduate programs.
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSE) in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, Whiting School of Engineering, Johns Hopkins University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. See our Program Objectives and Outcomes page for more information.
