Water resources—essential to humankind—have become even more critical as the world's population expands, climate change brings new challenges and technology both enhances and depletes resources.

The Water Management and Hydrologic Science program in the College of Geosciences provides a unique interdisciplinary approach to all aspects of water management, conservation and protection with three separate degree options.

This degree is intended to provide professional graduate education emphasizing problem solving and technical skills for students who will manage public water systems and water resources. The curriculum is structured but it is still flexible, enabling students, with the guidance of an advisory committee, to design courses of study that are in accord with their career objectives.
