<p>I am going to be a Senior in a couple months, and I am unsure on my major. I posted my original query in the "Other College Majors" section, but I figured this would be more appropriate for Environmental Engineering. I am not too sure what differentiates Environmental Engineering from other majors, or what exactly it is. </p>

<p>I am interested in bioremedation, waste management, and pollutant containment. I have 3 questions. What is Environmental Engineering, and what are the career possibilities for it? And are my interests best suited for Environmental Engineering or some other degree?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Go for it. Environmental Engineering is pretty cool. But look around at colleges, because it’s kind of a rare major. Civil engineering is similar to it, and you can likely switch between the two in your career. Environmental engineering usually requires a bunch of broad science classes too (bio, geo, chem, phys). Civil covers alot of environmental stuff, but also covers structures and buildings. Just google around, and find some info.</p>
