The online Master of Environmental Science: Hydrology & Water Security is a 30 credit-hour program, designed to be completed in 21 months while working full-time. This unique, interdisciplinary program offers a core curriculum and three tracks – Water Management, Water Quality, and Water Quantity.

The Water Management specialization offers a practical degree for those working with water across multiple industries – and includes courses related to waters impact on business and society. The Water Quality track offers a quantitative degree in the fate and transport of water quality constituents as they move through the hydrologic cycle for those working in environmental quality, waste load allocation, water reuse, and geo-environmental/health impacts. The Water Quantity specialization offers additional technical background interested in predicting water availability and movement at various scales. The program sequence is below:
