GENERAL INFORMATION The Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) Program is ABET accredited. It is one of the largest, oldest, and most respected undergraduate environmental engineering programs in the country. The mission of the ERE program is to prepare engineers to solve complex environmental resources problems. The program strives to educate leaders who will sustain, restore, and protect our natural resources and the environment. The program emphasizes hands-on learning; ERE students engage in frequent labs, field trips, and team projects, while enjoying a cooperative learning environment in classes that range from 12-70 students. The majority of ERE classes have fewer than 25 students. The department and university value diversity, inclusion and equity. Currently more than two-thirds of the tenure-track faculty are women, and two of eight tenure-track faculty are Latina. Many ERE students come from groups that have been historically underrepresented in engineering: 32% self-identify as coming from an underrepresented ethnic group, 41% are the first in their family to attend university, and 42% are Pell Grant eligible.

Humboldt State University sits on the traditional homelands of the Wiyot people in what is currently called Arcata, CA. The Wiyot people call the area Goudi’ni (over in the woods). The Humboldt State University campus in Northern California is in close proximity to several thriving Native American tribes and communities. Humboldt State currently has the largest percentage of Native American students in the CSU system and has over 30 Native American faculty and staff, many from local area California Indian tribes. HSU is home to a number of leading Native American programs including the Indian Tribal Education and Personnel Program (ITEPP) and the Indian Natural Resource, Science and Engineering Program (INRSEP). There are also many opportunities at HSU to conduct research, teaching and community work on Native American history and cultures in Special Collections at the HSU library. The Humboldt Room in the Library has fantastic resources for tribally focused archive materials from the region. HSU strives to build a supportive and inclusive Native community and engages with Native communities through various initiatives and opportunities like the annual California Indian Big Time and Indigenous People’s Week and a chance to network with other faculty and staff as part of the HSU Council of American Indian Faculty and Staff.
