Emphasis - Hydrology & Comp Hydroscience

Description

An M.S. in engineering science with an 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, public service, or for doctoral work. 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. It covers the fields of surface hydrology, groundwater hydrology, computational hydroscience and/or hydraulic engineering.

Course Requirements

For the M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in hydrology and computational hydroscience, a student must complete 24 credit hours of coursework (plus at least 6 thesis hours). 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:
