Emphasis - Hydrology & Comp Hydroscience

Description

A Ph.D. in engineering science with emphasis in hydrology and computational hydroscience prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, or public/government service. This degree is cross-listed between several departments within the School of Engineering. The student’s home department is the same as the student’s academic adviser’s home department. This degree covers the fields of surface hydrology, groundwater hydrology, computational hydroscience and/or hydraulic engineering.

Course Requirements

For the Ph.D. in engineering science with emphasis in hydrology and computational hydroscience, a student must complete a minimum of 36 hours beyond the B.S. degree and 18 hours of dissertation credit. Graduate coursework must be approved by the student's advisory committee. Below is a full list of recommended courses. In addition to the previously mentioned credit hours, students must enroll in a 1-hour graduate seminar each semester.

Students must choose from this recommended list:
