The Environmental Engineering Graduate Program at the University of Houston invites applications for Fall 2026 for the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in environmental engineering. The Program is an interdisciplinary graduate engineering program within the Cullen College of Engineering, administratively housed in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The Program and its faculty are internationally known for their research and teaching in water and wastewater, hydrology, microbiology and biotechnology, environmental nanotechnology, emerging contaminants in the environment, and climate solutions and resilience.
Applications are welcome from students who will complete a BS degree by Fall 2026 in engineering or in a science related to engineering from an accredited college or university, or the foreign equivalent of an accredited American BS or MS degree in engineering. Non-engineers with degrees in related fields will also be considered for admissions with prerequisite and leveling courses.
Graduate scholarship and fellowship opportunities are available for admitted students in both the MS and PhD programs. All students will be considered for scholarship awards upon submission of an application through the University of Houston application portal: https://www.uh.edu/graduate-school/admissions/
