You can read more about individual faculty on their individual webpages using the Faculty link in the Program Links right-hand sidebar. All of us are very approachable, so do not hesitate to contact us via email to inquire about our research activities and openings for new students in our research groups.
Nearly all of our ~ 30 graduate students are full-time students and fully supported by either faculty research grants or teaching assistantships. Students may also pursue the non-thesis option without financial support. CEE is a broad field and a number of our graduate students work collaboratively with other UVM faculty in, to name a few, the School of Natural Resources, College of Medicine, Geology, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Community Development and Applied Economics (CDAE). I encourage you to build your own plan for your graduate student career using as many of UVM's research and academic resources as possible.
Certificates of Graduate Study are available for graduate students wishing to pursue interdisciplinary research areas in some depth. Interested students should contact the coordinators of these programs which involve taking a set of courses focused on one particular theme. Graduate students must formally apply to the individual Certificate Program prior to the start of the semester in which the courses will count toward the Certificate.

Ecological Design
In addition to our M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, we also have an Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) for undergraduate UVM students majoring in either Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering - with just one additional year of coursework and research, students can jump start their engineering careers by obtaining their M.S. degree. Interested undergraduate students should explore information on the AMP in the Fall of their Junior year at UVM by contacting the Graduate Program Coordinator and our AMP webpage located at the School of Engineering website.
I encourage you to review our webpages on faculty research projects as well as our Graduate Student Handbook to learn more about our outstanding programs and faculty. Furthermore, once you have identified faculty with whom you would like to work or topic are of your interest for your graduate study, please fill out our Pre-Application Form (see below) to initiate the application process.

CEE Graduate Program Coordinator
Prior to completing the formal Graduate College application, prospective students should complete our own Program's Pre-Application Form. This form is used to notify individual faculty about your intentions to apply and provide us with some preliminary information on your academic preparation and work experience. Once completed, the Pre-Application Form should be emailed to the Graduate Program Coordinator.
Please see the list below of our primary areas of research. For more information about our work in each area, click on the faculty members with that research expertise.
