A Note on Engineering Licensure

Students entering the program without a B.S. in Engineering from an ABET-accredited program should be aware that the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program is not accredited by ABET, although most of the participating departments are.  Thus, licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) is currently not an option for students going through the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program unless they already hold an undergraduate degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program.
