Description of the Program
The Water Resources Certificate Program prepares students for related careers in environmental science and management. Protecting the long–term ecologic health of our rivers and streams is an important national goal. Yet our society has ever–increasing demands for inexpensive supplies of high–quality water.

The program provides a common curriculum to meet the educational needs of the next generation of environmental scientists and managers. Many of the courses provide hands-on experiences in an outdoor setting to learn about water resources.

The purpose of the program is to train students to manage our scarce water resources for the maximum benefit of the world's population, while at the same time preserving the ecologic integrity of our aquatic resources.
