What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?

ERE is a major that requires major time and effort! With summer school almost every year, I finished in 5 years—this included repeated classes. Repeating classes is normal for nearly everyone. Don’t let it discourage you! Mass balance is your friend. Indoor air quality is serious business.
