<p>I want to study a mixture of environmental engineering and environmental policy/management. My end goal is a PhD. I am choosing between University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins and am curious if anyone has any thoughts on these two schools for graduate studies in these areas. Thanks for yoru help.</p>
<p>can anyone offer some help please</p>
<p>UMich's public policy is highly regarded.</p>
<p>One piece of advice I would give is to look at similar grad programs at those two schools that have over-lapping curriculum in environmental studies. I know Michigan has courses in urban planning and public health that address this topic.</p>
<p>I go to Hopkins, my brother goes to UMich. I know Hopkins has a good engineering program, but I'm sure UMich does as well.</p>
<p>Both are top schools, but I have to say that UMich is definitely more fun than JHU. If you get good grades at either schools, the difference in prestige is nearly negligible.</p>
<p>I am trying to finalize my decision. Any thoughts on Hopkins vs Michigan in Environmental Engineering. I particularly want to do some policy work as well.</p>
<p>Hopkins Env. Engineering is very well-known primarily because of the emphasis on undergraduate research. It's a highly interdisciplinary program. The main focus is in the physical and biological sciences, training in mathematics, engineering science, engineering design, and research in the lab and field.</p>
<p>Research is huge for undergraduates whether it's in a lab, on policy or independent study. Major research programs at Hopkins Env. Engineering are:</p>
<pre><code>* Pollutant fate and transport;
* Water resources engineering;
* Environmental chemistry;
* Geomorphology;
* Drinking water and wastewater treatment;
* Environmental microbiology;
* Systems analysis and economics for public decision-making
* Ecosystem dynamics; and
* The interplay between technology, society, and environmental changes.

<p>Notably, don't forget about the 5-year combined B.S./M.S. or B.S./M.S.E. degree at Hopkins. The undergraduates at Hopkins get *MAJOR attention * which is great. It's a very tight community as well.</p>
<p>Number of:
Faculty: 15
Undergraduate Students: 23</p>
<p>I have the same question...except I have to choose for undergraduate engineering (probably EE/CE/CS).</p>
<p>Great to know they care about undergraduates, but I am looking into graduate studies . . .MSE and then PhD . . .</p>
