Is it possible to get a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science then get a master's degree in Environmental Engineering?

I'm looking at different colleges and a couple of them offer environmental science, but not environmental engineering. Is it feasible to get a degree in environmental science then transition to environmental engineering for grad school? I'm wondering if I take certain electives or something maybe the transition would be smoother? Or are they different enough that I should prioritize environmental engineering exactly when I'm researching schools. Thanks so much for your help!

    Yes Carly, it is very possible!
    
    The concept of study is related and the course units studied at Bachelors of Science give one enough grounding and theoretical concepts to Master in Environmental Engineering.
