Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to 53,235 students, more than 11,000 faculty and staff and 350,000+ living alumni, UC combines a Top 35 public research university with a physical setting The New York Times calls "the most ambitious campus design program in the country."

With the launch of Next Lives Here, the Cincinnati Innovation District, a $100 million JobsOhio investment, three straight years of record enrollment, worldwide leadership in cooperative education, a dynamic academic health center and entry into the Big 12 Conference, UC's momentum has never been stronger. UC's annual budget stands at $1.85 billion, and its endowment totals nearly $1.8 billion.


About the Department

There are 11 full-time faculty with primary appointments in Environmental Engineering (ENVE), ~50 students in ENVE's well-established graduate program of 50+ years, and more than 150 undergraduate students in our rapidly growing ABET-accredited undergraduate program that was inaugurated in 2012. Average environmental engineering research expenditures over the past 10 years at UC have exceeded $5 million/year. In addition to core ABET requirements, the program supports four senior elective tracks for undergraduates linked to our graduate research focus areas of Hydrosystems, Water Quality, Air Quality and Sustainability.

The University of Cincinnati (UC) is a thriving urban research institution located in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio, with approximately 52,000 students and approximately 10,000 professors and staff.
