Undergraduate Advising
Environmental Engineering Sciences
The Environmental Engineering undergraduate program provides students with a broad education that prepares them to be “doctors for the Earth.”
The program encompasses the four areas of environmental engineering: air, water, sustainable materials management, and ecological engineering. Research opportunities, laboratories, field trips, and a senior design project provide hands-on experiences to give students practical application of the foundational principles underlying environmental engineering.

Advanced registration holds
Engineering students must meet with their Academic Advisors before they can register for classes. Registration holds will be lifted by the advisors, provided that all requirements are met. Plan to see your advisor well in advance of the registration time assigned to you. Honors students must have their holds removed prior to honors registration to register for honors classes.
Check ONE.UF to determine your registration date.
Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program
The Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences presently offers two variations of a Masters degree: the Master of Engineering (M.E.) and the Master of Science (M.S.). Effective Fall of 1999, the Department of Environmental Engineering offers a combined B.S./Master program to qualified undergraduate students seeking M.S. or M.E. degrees.
In this program, qualified undergraduate students will be allowed to shorten the time required for their master’s degree by completing twelve (12) credits of graduate level courses in their final two semesters of their B.S. program or when they have achieved a 5EG classification. The combined B.S./Master program will provide a fast track for qualified undergraduate students to obtain both their B.S. and Master degrees (e.g., M.S. or M.E. degrees), thereby allowing these students an earlier entrance to their professional careers. The program will provide incentive to encourage good undergraduate Environmental Engineering students to pursue graduate education at the University of Florida.
To qualify for this program, students must complete a Combined Bachelors/Master Degree Program application, attain an upper division GPA of 3.30 at the time of application. Student must still apply for and satisfy the graduate school and departmental graduate admission requirements for their Master program. The courses (maximum of 12 credits) that would be double-counted in the B.S. and Master programs must be graded graduate level courses offered by the Department of Environmental Engineering (or by another acceptable department). The student must achieve a grade of ‘B’ or better in order for the courses to be transferred into the graduate degree program.
