Environmental Engineering and Science is moving on up!
 Clemson University’s Environmental Engineering and
Science Department (EE&S) continues its climb toward
the Top Ten. The department, part of the School of the Environment,
is one of the nation’s largest and most diverse environmental
engineering and science programs, and U. S. News and World
Report ranks it 14th for programs of its kind in the country.
The department has placed in the Top Twenty for a number
of years, hovering around 17th.
“This is great news,” enthused Alan Elzerman,
Director of the School of the Environment. “It’s
an affirmation that we’re on the right track and doing
the right things.”
Clemson has a broad commitment to environmental education,
as well as many resources and capabilities across the university.
The breadth of the field has helped create a growing network
of scholars on campus who are involved in environmental and
sustainability activities. Environmental Engineering and
Science works closely with the school’s associated
departments – Geological Sciences and Environmental
Toxicology – as well as other Clemson programs, in
teaching and research related to environmental areas. The
department’s unique program emphasizes traditional
environmental and process engineering, as well as fate and
transport in the environment, environmental chemistry, waste
management, and risk assessment. Two more recent focus areas
are nuclear environmental engineering and science and radiochemistry.
The department offers graduate and undergraduate courses,
an undergraduate minor, and graduate M.E., M.S., and Ph.D.
degrees. Over the past 35 years, the Environmental Engineering
and Science department has produced more than 600 graduates.
