Department Programs Overview

The graduate program in Environmental and Resource Engineering (ERE) at SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry (ESF) applies science and engineering to the conservation, restoration, holistic development, and improved utilization of the natural environment and its related resources. It represents synthesis of the professional specialties of three academic departments that comprise the Division of Engineering. These are the Department of Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering (ERFEG), the Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering (PBE), and the Department of Construction Management and Wood Products Engineering (CMWPE). MS, MPS and PhD degrees available (see website for current specifics).
