The Watershed Studies Institute program in Watershed Science is an interdisciplinary master’s program within the College of Science, Engineering and Technology that is designed to prepare students for careers or further graduate studies in the broader aspects of watershed management and science. The thesis course of study allows students to focus on one of four tracks: Aquatic Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, Hydrological Spatial Analysis, or Watershed Conservation. The non-thesis course of study is tailored to individual educational goals and can be centered on any aspect of watershed science. All students are required to complete a core curriculum and advanced courses in their areas of interest. During the first semester, students are assigned to work at either the Chemical Services Laboratory, the Mid-America Remote sensing Center, or the Hancock Biological Station.
