I am really interested in chemistry and biology and ultimately want to go to grad school to study genetics or something to do with medical research.

Jesse Added Friday, January 27, 2017 at 11:03 PM So I am currently pursuing my degree in Environmental Engineering and this is my question. What subjects/ skills do I really need to know really well?

Rachel P, Long Island Added Friday, July 8, 2016 at 1:31 AM I worry that graduate schools wouldn't want me because I attended a state school and not a private one hello. I am currently a sophomore, going to be a jr, in college and I am studying biology, however its my dream to be an environmental engineer. I've been trying to transfer to another school with an environmental engineering program this whole summer but its hasn't been going smoothly. Most colleges wont accept most of my credits because the majors are so different and I don't really have the money or patience to do four more years of undergrad. So I was hoping that I would be able to finish ... Answers 1 Barbara Nielsen, Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
