Applications normally require submission of the completed application form, statement of
purpose, three letters of recommendations, results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
and official transcripts of courses taken at all colleges and universities attended. Foreign
applications should submit their scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
exam. A minimum score of 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based) is required for admission.
The department code for GRE and TOEFL scores is 1103. Completed applications should be filed by
January 15 to be considered for financial aid and assistantships . It is important that GRE and
TOEFL scores and letters of recommendation be available at this time. Successful applicants will
be advised of their admission and financial aid status by mid-March. For applicants with severe
financial constraints (e.g., limited family income), it is possible to make a formal request for
the application fee to be waived. You must document your financial resources and explain the need
for the application fee waiver. You can send such a request to the DoGEE Academic Program Coordinator Christine Kavanagh.

MSE Funding Opportunities
9-month 50% tuition fellowships are often available for well-qualified
students who enroll in the MS and MSE degree programs. These are awarded
on the basis of normal application forms -- no special application is required.
For U.S. citizens who are interested in a terminal course-based MSE degree toward
professional practice in environmental engineering, three special funding opportunities
are available to especially well-qualified applicants:
1) For especially well qualified students, a full tuition fellowship is available
on a competitive basis. Fellowships will be awarded on the basis of the
normal graduate application, so no special application procedures are required.
2) A fellowship/internship program is available through a collaborative program established
by JHU and
EA Engineering, Science & Technology, Inc.
This program provides full tuition plus a $5000 stipend. It involves a 9-month
program of course work followed by 6 months of internship with EA Engineering. Selection is
based on the normal JHU application for MSE study in environmental engineering within the
Dept. of Geography and Environmental Engineering. No special application is required,
but interested applicants are encouraged to so note within their application and/or to
separately contact the department.
3) A consortium of water suppliers and environmental
engineering consulting firms offers up to $20,000 toward MSE study for students who are willing
to make a three-year commitment of employment with the sponsoring firm. Applications
and additional information can be found at "
Environmental Engineers for the Future."
Graduate Fellowship Opportunities
The Whiting School of Engineering and the Department of Geography and Environmental
Engineering offer a limited number of partial and complete doctoral fellowships
on a competitive basis, selected on the basis of qualifications presented on
the normal application form. No special application is required.
In addition, there are several national programs that offer full fellowships for graduate study of U.S. citizens in environmental engineering. These include the EPA, NSF, and GEM graduate fellowship programs, for which further information can be found through the following links:
-
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)-
EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships For Graduate Environmental Study-
GEM: Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science
Graduate Research Assistantships
Research Assistantships are awarded at the discretion of the individual faculty
and are strongly dependent on the availability of funding from various research
sponsors, including federal and state agencies as well as non-governmental organizations
and foundations. Such awards are most often awarded preferentially to students
who apply for the PhD, and these are typically decided well after the January
15 deadline, on the basis of comparative study of fully complete applications.
All faculty with research interests that fall within an applicant's stated area
of interest will be given opportunity to review the graduate study application,
so no special action or advanced communication is required on the part of the
applicant. All applicants should,however, be sure to indicate any faculty preferences
in their Statement of Interests, and applicants should feel free to establish
preliminary c ontact with faculty if they wish to confirm alignment of research
interests. Students bringing fellowship funding from external organizations
are encouraged to make preliminary contact in order to establish a working relationship
with faculty on the research topic of interest. Finally, all applicants are
welcome to visit the department, provided that they can make arrangments at
least two weeks in advance. (Note: Some applicants who are selected for possible
financial support will be given an opportunity for a financially supported visit
in early March.)
