<p>Does anyone think this is too far-fetched? I already got into the a program but what I am more worried about is earning a competitive edge in the future job market. I know a lot of marine biologists work in the environmental field but do in your expert opinions, when I graduate from this program do you think it will be hard for me get an entry-level job somewhere in the environmental engineering field especially since my B.S. is not in environmental engineering?</p>
<p>I’m not an expert, but I am in a very similar situation as you. I graduated recently and currently work for an environmental engineering firm. I received a dual B.Sc. in Earth & Environmental Science and Biology, and want to complete a M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering part-time while continuing to gain relevant experience. </p>
<p>It’s going to take a while for me to finish up my pre-reqs(Calc I-III, DiffEq, Statics, Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics) for a number of distance environmental engineering graduate programs. It may take a while for me to actually get the M.Sc. as a part-time student, but the company offers tuition reimbursement (I’m going to milk that as much as possible) and real-world experience. </p>
<p>What program were you accepted in to? Do they require similar pre-reqs for completion of the M.Sc? How is the program so far? </p>
<p>I hope you are successful in your path. Feel free to message me.</p>
