Bioenvironmental Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Bioenvironmental Engineering at Rutgers University-Camden is a comprehensive undergraduate program designed to prepare students for careers at the intersection of engineering, environmental science, and public health. This interdisciplinary program combines fundamental principles of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address complex environmental and health challenges. Students will learn to develop innovative solutions for environmental protection, sustainable development, and the management of natural resources, emphasizing the importance of engineering in preserving and improving the quality of life. The curriculum includes coursework in environmental systems, environmental chemistry, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, pollution control, and bioenvironmental systems, as well as practical laboratory experiences and hands-on projects. Students will also have opportunities for internships and research collaborations with faculty engaged in cutting-edge projects related to environmental health, waste management, air and water quality, and ecological sustainability. The program aims to foster critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to environmental stewardship, preparing graduates to work in diverse settings such as environmental consulting firms, government agencies, industrial companies, research institutions, and nonprofit organizations. Graduates of the Bioenvironmental Engineering program will be well-equipped to pursue professional licensure, postgraduate studies, or careers dedicated to creating a healthier and more sustainable world.

Five-Year B.S./B.S.

The five-year, dual-degree program in bioenvironmental engineering is offered by the School of Engineering in cooperation with the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS). This program allows a greater depth of specialization at the undergraduate level than can be achieved by completing the four-year program.

Students in the five-year program apply to SEBS, under whose jurisdiction they remain for the first two years. Assuming satisfactory progress, the students come under the academic jurisdiction of the School of Engineering for the remaining three years of the program. However, the students continue to affiliate with SEBS and must select humanities/social sciences electives to satisfy SEBS requirements. Four-year bioenvironmental engineering majors may apply to SEBS for transfer to the dual-degree, five-year program at any time prior to their fourth year.

Funding

Rutgers uses your FAFSA to develop a financial-aid package based on your qualifications, financial need and the funds available to the university. Your package may include any or a combination of these major financial aid sources:

• Gift aid does not require repayment and is divided into three categories: grants (which recognize financial need) and scholarships and awards (which recognize academic merit, special talents, or other achievements).
• Loans must be repaid (usually after graduation) and can come from private lenders as well as federal, state and university sources.
• Work-study allows students to earn money for college expenses while gaining valuable skills - often in their intended field.
