威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校

The UW-Madison online Master of Engineering named option in Environmental Engineering is the newest addition to the top-ranking online graduate engineering program. Our curriculum was designed based on extensive surveys of engineers and employers, as well as on “body of knowledge” guidelines developed by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists.

As a leader in engineering and environmental sciences, our degree program is ideal for recent engineering graduates and mid-career engineers who want to take on more advanced roles and responsibilities. UW-Madison’s online engineering programs are consistently ranked in the 10 top by U.S. News & World Report.

You obtain a broad and deep understanding of environmental challenges and environmental engineering solutions for our most pressing problems, and develop the skills to lead teams and build relationships with stakeholders.

Our delivery method sets us apart from other degree programs. Though the classes are online, the courses are very interactive. Our weekly live web sessions are scheduled to meet the needs of working professionals and help to build a collaborative learning environment between students and instructors. You work closely with world-class faculty based at a highly-respected institution, recognized by top employers around the world. You also have weekly interactions with your cohort of other professional engineers to share knowledge, expertise, and networks.
