Environmental Engineering B.S.E.V.
Environmental engineers solve complex problems, supporting human and environmental needs while mitigating adverse environmental, health, and economic impacts associated with human activities. The degree is an interdisciplinary engineering program designed to provide students with a strong foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of environmental engineering. It emphasizes traditional areas of transport, fate, and treatment of chemical, physical, and microbial pollutants in water, air, and soil along with important 21st-century themes of infrastructure, sustainability, health, data science, community engagement, and global citizenship. Coursework covers fundamental science and engineering concepts applied to environmental processes, natural and built environments, and engineering design, as well as applied learning experiences including community-engaged laboratory projects and a capstone design course that partners with stakeholders to solve local environmental problems.
Graduates are trained to integrate considerations of risk, uncertainty, sustainability, life-cycle principles, and environmental impacts into their problem solving, to apply concepts of professional practice and project management, and to understand the roles and responsibilities of public institutions and private organizations pertaining to environmental policy and regulations. The world needs environmental engineers to provide economic and social opportunities for: an increasing population, reliable water and wastewater systems, improved air quality and transportation systems, protection of public and environmental health, management of nutrient pollution that adversely impacts water bodies, ecosystem and brownfield restoration, other infrastructure improvements, advancing global health and food systems, managing wastes in a more sustainable manner, and developing strategies to mitigate global climate change. Graduates have local and global employment opportunities with industry, engineering design firms, local/state/federal governments, and nongovernmental organizations, along with numerous opportunities to advance their education at the Master’s or Ph.D. levels.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
Any student applying for admission to USF is considered international if he or she:
Is not a citizen of the United States
Is not a permanent resident alien, asylee or refugee
Is pending permanent resident alien status
If offered admission, international applicants will need to submit additional documents.
Once you have determined whether you are an international student, decide whether you are freshman or transfer status. This is important to do before you get started on your application.
Freshman Status
If you have not graduated from secondary school or completed your secondary school examinations, the State of Florida considers you a freshman, regardless of the amount of college credit you may have earned through dual enrollment, AP or IB coursework, or external examinations while in secondary school.
Thus, even though you may have sophomore or junior standing once you enroll and your credits are transferred, USF will review your application for admission as a freshman and consider you for all freshman admission scholarships. You also are considered a freshman if you have completed your secondary school studies and have attempted fewer than 12 college credits.
If you fall into this category, please follow the freshman requirements and deadlines when submitting your application.
