UWRF to Offer New Environmental Engineering Program
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 04/08/2020

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents has approved a new undergraduate Bachelor of Science program in environmental engineering at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Students will be accepted into the program beginning in fall 2020.

Coordinators say this will be one of only three ABET-accredited programs in environmental engineering in Wisconsin. The previous options for students in northern and western Wisconsin were limited and many engineering programs in the upper Midwest only offer a track or option in environmental engineering, typically within their civil engineering programs.

"I appreciate the support of the Board of Regents in approving our new environmental engineering program," said Dale Gallenberg, dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. "I'm excited for the opportunities it creates for our students and the additional capacity it brings to UWRF to help meet the needs of industry and employers in northwestern Wisconsin."

This is the second professional engineering program for UW-River Falls. In 2015, the regents panel approved the agricultural engineering program, which began accepting students in 2016.
