Not yet but soon .....

Hi Pat,
I am not taking anything yet in this field but there are a few programs that I know of,

American Public offers B.S and M.S.
APUS

I thought Mountain State offered a BS but all I can find is the AS right now

MSU

University of Maryland offers BS and MS

UMUC

Thomas Edison offers AS and BS

TESC

my favorite- Harvard Extension offers ALB and ALM

HES

Also - Prescott College

Prescott


I think one of the Oregon Universities offers a BS degree completion too - Eastern Oregon, but don't quote me on that as I couldn't find it on their page

Let me know if you know of anymore......

 

A bit late in answering this question , but it's Oregon State. Checking out the Environmental Science programs myself. Link below.

However you should know that good jobs in environment (sewage works, water works, energy, etc) usually hire civil engineers , chemical engineers, chemists, and other basic engineering/scientific degrees. Environmental degree often do not have depth - good for "political" positions though.

 

I agree! I'm a wastewater treatment plant operator and all of our so-called gurus are engineers or chemistry majors. One of my co-workers has an environmental science degree.

 

That may be true, but if anyone is interested in emigrating to New Zealand, you should give that Environmental Science degree another look. Immigration "down under" has decided there is a shortage of environmental scientists, so those words in your diploma can go far in landing you permanent residence. Just a random tid bit.

 

Sounds like a good deal. Also, the wastewater industry will be wide-open in the next few years due to retiring old-farts.

One thing that I find funny is one of our chemical reps graduated from TESU as a Nuclear Engineering Technology major. When I first meet him he told me he was a nuclear engineer. It sounded good until he told me where he graduated from. I’m not knocking TESU, but I know the difference between Nuclear Engineering Technology and Nuclear Engineering.

I guess I could call myself Civil Engineering if I decided to go the Civil Engineering Technology route at TESU.

 

ditto - I'd recommend this one. For future career prospects cant go wrong.
