<p>I am currently a 3rd year geology major/math minor and was wondering if this major would prepare me well enough for graduate work in environmental engineering. I've visited many departmental websites and most just say the requirements are to have a major/courses that prepare you well enough for the degree.</p>
<p>Should I take additional courses specific to the field I am interested in pursuing? Or would my undergraduate work be sufficient?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Your undergraduate work will likely not be entirely sufficient. However, that is not a problem. Your will have to take remedial classes at the university you are accepted at. These classes will not count towards your graduate degree but are instead designed to teach you the basics you need to know. You can expect 1 or 2 semesters of this, and if it goes to 2 semesters you will probably have the opportunity to take a graduate class of some kind during that semester.</p>
<p>If you have an opportunity to take specific courses, it probably wouldn’t hurt. However, I’m uncertain as to whether or not all universities would consider this to be adequate preparation. They might provide a listing of classes as an example of some of the important classes they want you to have taken, but really want you to have a Civil Engineering undergraduate experience.</p>
<p>it most likely won’t be a problem.At my school, the way it works is that people who did their undergrads outside of environmental engineering will have to take a few extra 3rd and 4th year classes. I know someone who did his undergrad in computer engineering and came into environmental for grad school and he is doing well. I know a few chemical engineering students as well. </p>
<p>What specific field do you plan or pursuing?</p>
