Master in Geography and Environmental Engineering

We are anchored in two schools: The Whiting School of Engineering and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and our students benefit from close interdisciplinary partnerships with the School of Medicine, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and the Carey Business School. Our strategic partnerships across the institution and around the world advance technology, human health, and resiliency. Our ever-evolving academic programs combine theory with practical experiences to address real-world problems.

We focus on solving critical problems at the nexus of public health and engineering through research in the areas of air pollution and cardio-respiratory diseases, energy management and alternative technologies, environmental chemistry, environmental resource quality, food systems, and more. We offer full-time and part-time degree programs.

Academics

Where others see obstacles, you see opportunities. When others settle, you still have questions. It’s that same spirit of curiosity and passion for problem-solving that fuels innovation and discovery—and is what drives all of us at Hopkins Engineering. At Hopkins Engineering, you’ll be part of a small community of innovators on campus with big-city access — and a global network. You’ll get to know your classmates, professors, and instructors.

Along the way, you'll meet and learn from scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, inventors, and other experts — including many former Blue Jays. Advance your career, expand your opportunities, or deepen your expertise with a master’s degree in a high-demand field.
