The Water Quality Technology program, the only one of its kind in Tennessee, was developed with industry partners to ensure that our students learn what they need to know to hit the ground running. In addition to traditional lectures and coursework, students make multiple site visits to treatment plants and utility districts across the region, giving them face time and hands-on experience with potential employers.
Water Quality Treatment students are prepared for state-level certification, and clean water is such a need all over the world that most of our Water Quality Technology students receive job offers even before they graduate.
Typical Job Opportunities: Operator positions at public or private water and wastewater treatment plants throughout the state. General science proficiencies provide a foundation for positions in environmental conservation or natural resources.
