Abstract

There are very few solid waste management programs currently being conducted in the United States. There are individual course offerings available at approximately 74 institutions. The criteria utilized for selection of an institution's program in the area of solid waste management were as follows: (a) a total program defined in the catalogue as such; (b) a dominant sequence, consisting of two or more courses; and, (c) a program which offered one to three courses as electives within the requirements. It became obvious that the environmental area of solid waste management did not lend itself to the same degree of categorization as other media areas. This may be attributed to the fact that solid waste management has not received the emphasis that, for example, air or water pollution control has received nationwide. In addition, there has been a sharp decrease in education/training monies allocated to this environmental area.
