Water Resources Engineering Graduate Major (MS, PhD)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Groundwater engineering, surface water engineering, watershed engineering
A graduate major in Water Resources Engineering for the master of science and doctor of philosophy degree programs is offered with specialization in groundwater engineering, surface water engineering, or watershed engineering. Seminars, courses, and reading and conference courses in water resources engineering are offered by the Water Resources Graduate Program.
The graduate major options are structured around courses designed to broaden the student’s education in one of the above areas of concentration. University departments and schools that offer courses related to water resources engineering include the departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics; Biological and Ecological Engineering; Botany and Plant Pathology; Chemistry; Crop and Soil Science; Geosciences; Mathematics; Rangeland Ecology and Management; Statistics; the School of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management; the School of Biological and Population Health Sciences; the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering; the School of Civil and Construction Engineering; the School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering; and the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. About 20 departments conduct teaching or research programs in water resources.
