Students develop a specialized area of study based on their career goals.
Areas of specialization include water management, hydrologic science, water policy, aquatic biology, and water quality science. Graduates are prepared for careers with local, state, and federal agencies that manage water resources or that forumulate water policy, and private firms that offer water management services. This two-semester course gives students the opportunity to select a project in their area of interest and work in a team to solve a water resources problem. The real world projects are presented by clients from outside the univeristy. These partners work with the student teams and the faculty to develop viable, ecologically sound, and economical solutions.
