Thank you for your interest in the All Ivy Environmental Fair to be held on Friday, February 15, 2008 at Columbia University's Low Library. This event is being co-sponsored by the Office of Career Services, the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. More information about the event can be found at http://www.earth.columbia.edu/education/ivy_career_fair/.

Princeton undergraduate and graduate students have several ways to include environmental study in their academic work at Princeton.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Undergraduates can work toward a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) with a concentration on Environmental Engineering. The Environmental Engineering program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career related to the environment (engineering, law, business or medicine) and for students who wish to continue on to advanced graduate studies in environmental engineering or a related earth science discipline. Course work in environmental engineering focuses on the analysis of, and engineering solutions to, environmental problems through combined study of the fundamental hydrological and environmental sciences, and environmental engineering design.  The Department firmly believes that independent research is an integral component of an engineer's education. Consequently, all seniors are required to write a thesis and present the results of their work at the annual CEE Senior Conference

Certificate program in Environmental Studies, Princeton Environmental Institute

Undergraduates can work toward a certificate (similar to a minor) through the Program in Environmental Studies (ENV). This program is a multidisciplinary forum for the study of the scientific, political, humanistic, and technological aspects of environmental problems. Through this program, students majoring in any department on campus can pursue their interests in the environment, and design a course of study that is consistent with their interests.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Department of Geosciences

Graduate students can work toward a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources. The aim of the EEWR Program is to train outstanding engineers and scientists, and to conduct advanced research in areas that are vital to national and international needs in the areas of environmental engineering and water resources.

Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy Program, Princeton Environmental Institute

A novel component of Princeton's graduate environmental program is the PEI Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy program, known as PEI-STEP. This two-year program enables participating graduate students to add a policy dimension to their basic science or technology work. PEI-STEP students write an independent paper on their policy research, which is the equivalent of a chapter in the thesis. Students who complete PEI-STEP are awarded the Graduate Certificate in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Undergraduate students and graduate students in other programs on campus may also have interest in and coursework related to the environment. Programs in addition to those listed above with environmental content can be found in the following departments and programs: Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

Students may also express their interests in the environment by participating in a number of student groups on campus:

Princeton Environmental Action

Princeton University Water Watch

Outdoor Action

Princeton Conservation Society

Greening Princeton
