PhD Legacy

Degrees in Environmental Engineering and Science were awarded beginning in 1971. Prior to that time, persons specializing in environmental engineering received their degrees in Sanitary Engineering. Recipients of the doctorate previous to 1971 are listed here if their advisor was associated with the environmental engineering specialty and their thesis topic was environmentally related. The University of Illinois Library provides access to Civil and Environmental Engineering dissertations and theses. This list is not an official list of the graduate school, may not be complete, and there may be unintended errors and/or inaccuracies.
