Graduates of associate degree in environmental engineering technology or related programs from other institutions may enter the program as juniors based on an evaluation of their transcripts. This evaluation determines if additional lower division courses will be required to meet the prerequisites of the program.

Students also may transfer from environmental engineering or closely related programs to the environmental engineering technology program at a level depending on the evaluation of their courses. Freshman students may gain admission to the program if several lower division courses are taken at BridgeValley Community and Technical College, which is located within walking distance of the WVU Tech campus.
