The MS in Environmental Engineering Policy and Planning is a joint master's degree offered by the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
As a student in the MS in Environmental Engineering Policy and Planning, you'll gain technical engineering skills as well as the knowledge and training of a policy and planning professional.
See Tuition and Financial Aid information. Note: This program is eligible for federal loans and Tufts tuition scholarships.
