kim asked Kristin Malosh, North Star BlueScope Steel AddedFriday, September 29, 2017 at 11:04 AM I have a PhD in organic chemistry. Do you still need an MS in environmental engineering in order to get a job? How competitive is an online MS degree from an accredited university?

I'm not sure you "need" a Masters in Environmental Engineering- I guess it depends on the type of job you are interesting in pursuing. I don't have much familiarity with online MS degrees, so I'm probably not the right one to answer that question. Good luck!
