The graduate program in environmental science is a joint effort among the departments of chemistry and environmental science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT); biological sciences at Rutgers and NJIT; and earth and environmental sciences at Rutgers. Students may enter the program through Rutgers and earn a master of science (M.S.) degree or a doctoral degree (Ph.D.), including special tracks in geological sciences and biological sciences.
Environmental science plays a large role in several NJIT research centers, including the Hazardous Substance Management Research Center, the Northeast Hazardous Substance Center, the Particle Technology Center, and the Center for Membrane Technologies. These centers involve collaborations with other universities, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Rutgers, Stevens, Tufts, and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
