Environmental / Environmental Health Best Engineering Schools

Ranked in 2010

Environmental engineers find ways to keep nature less polluted, while environmental health engineers try to halt harmful environmental effects on human health. These are the top schools for environmental / environmental health engineering.

Editor's note: Due to an initial data processing error, the ranking of several schools on this list have changed. As of March 18, 2011, these rankings have been carried over from those published in the 2011 edition which were ranked in 2010. This is the corrected list. However the discrepancies in the rankings themselves were not able to be corrected in the 2012 print edition of Best Graduate Schools.
