The University of Texas at El Paso provides both outstanding resources and an extraordinary setting for the interdisciplinary doctoral program in Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE). The mission of UTEP’s ESE program is to prepare the next generation of leading environmental problem solvers, whereby participants conduct research to understand components of the past, present, and future state of the Earth System and how society will need to adapt in order to sustain ecosystem goods and services and human health and well-being. The ESE program is one of the oldest and largest doctoral programs at UTEP and includes more than 100 participating faculty from 12 academic departments and research centers housed within six colleges. This campus-wide engagement of faculty facilitates student access to the most outstanding research facilities and faculty UTEP has to offer. Our students are recruited locally, nationally and internationally and gain employment in diverse domains that includes but is not restricted to research, academia, national labs, agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
