"Masters of Science and Doctor in Philosophy in Environmental Engineering
The board also heard discussions to add new master鈥檚 and doctorate degrees in Environmental Engineering beginning in Fall 2015. The board will vote on these degrees at its next meeting on March 30.
Professor Jana Millford from CU-Boulder鈥檚 Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science presented the proposal to the board. She explained that Environmental Engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the protection of human health from environmental factors, as well as the protection of environments from the effects of human activities.
鈥淭he U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics projects strong growth in this field,鈥� said Millford. 鈥淭hese focused degrees will help prepare students for careers in this demanding and rewarding part of the Colorado economy.鈥�
Millford added that the faculty she represents are excited about these new degrees.
鈥淲e believe that these degrees will help us recruit students to our already successful Environmental Engineering programs at CU-Boulder,鈥� she said."
