Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering

Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering programs prepare individuals to apply geotechnical engineering methods, which deal with the analysis, design and construction of earth and earth supported structures, to the application of environmental problems, such as waste containment, waste disposal, construction of land fills, soil permeation, soil analysis, and soil improvement. Includes instruction in soil mechanics, soil dynamics, soil behavior, waste management and containment systems, geosynthetics, geochemistry, earth structures, geoenvironmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, and foundation engineering

California grants the most Masters degrees in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering of all US states with 4 degrees being awarded last year. Students wanting to major in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering can expect approximately 25% percent of their fellow classmates to be men and 75% percent to be women. The majority students graduating in this field earn a Postbaccalaureate certificate. The average annual income for a graduate with a bachelor's degree in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering is $57,200.
