The Environmental Resource Engineering (ERE) option is part of the Environmental Systems Graduate Program at Humboldt State University. The option focuses on the analysis and modeling of land, water, and renewable energy systems. Career possibilities include work in environmental engineering, water quality engineering, renewable energy engineering, and water resources engineering.
Recommended Program Prerequisites:
Applicants should have an undergraduate major in engineering (e.g. civil, mechanical, agricultural, chemical, industrial, environmental). Applicants with backgrounds in a limited number of additional fields (e.g. physics, chemistry) may also be considered.
Program Requirements:
Course requirements for the program include a set of classes that are common to the Environmental Systems Graduate Program, one of two courses that are specific to the ERE option, and an approved set of upper division and graduate elective courses. Students must complete a minimum of 30 units of coursework to receive a master's degree in Environmental Systems. Each student must also complete a master's project or thesis.
