Within Environmental Engineering, three specializations are offered:
- Environmental Processes
- Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Hydrology
- Environmental & Water Resources Systems
The supporting courses allow further breadth or depth. It is recommended that students take courses relevant to their career goals in engineering, sciences, foreign language, and international development.
Graduate Financial Aid
Many students in the M.Eng program receive financial aid to partially offset tuition and living expenses. A competitive fellowship program offers awards covering full tuition and stipend offers awards to top-ranked students across the College of Engineering. In addition, a larger number of half-time assistantships are available to M.Eng students. Students with assistantships typically serve as AguaClara program assistant, graders, hold office hours, or perform other duties for 8 hours per week. Applicants wishing to apply for financial aid for the Fall semester must submit their applications by January 15.
Applications are available online through the Cornell University Graduate School
