Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies
Water is fundamental to all life. Meeting the increasing human demand for water while ensuring its future availability and quality is a significant societal challenge.
The Water Resources Management (WRM) program prepares students to face the complexities of managing this critical natural resource.
The WRM curriculum integrates the biological and physical sciences (which identify and measure problems) with engineering (which provides technological alternatives), law and the social sciences (which assess needs and potential for institutional response). Each WRM student gains breadth in relevant planning and management areas while developing depth in an area specialty.
The program leads to a master of science degree in water resources management. Graduates typically seek employment as professionals in government, business, industry, education and the nonprofit sector.
