About Environmental Engineering Technology
Location is
Everything
When it comes to launching a career in sustainability, our region is a natural!
Our natural resources are a national treasure (and resource) that you can help protect. Because of the amount of lakes, rivers, forests and other natural areas throughout Northeast Wisconsin, environmental engineering technology is crucial to maintain a habitable and enjoyable land. In addition to natural resources, we also have plenty of industrial and agricultural businesses that are looking for your expertise.
Double Up
We have several related majors, like water science, environmental policy and planning and environmental science. Many students choose to double major or add a minor.
4 Years
Make sure you can graduate on time by preparing your course sequence in advance. Your advisor can also help you schedule classes to balance the load.

Attention
"The best part of the Environmental Engineering Technology program while I was at UWGB is that as a new program, there were not a lot of students, which allowed me to receive a lot of attention from all my professors. There were also plenty of research opportunities available for a small number of students. Mike Holly is great at caring about each student and is leading the program well."
