Hydrogeology (MS)

This interdisciplinary program provides students an opportunity to investigate a wide range of problems based in hydrogeology. The curriculum is structured to give students a strong background that integrates field methods with quantitative analyses. Students pursue a variety of research projects in hydrogeology and related areas, such as environmental geochemistry, groundwater contaminant flow and transport modeling, geophysics, tectonics, hydromechanics, hydrostratigraphy, geostatistics, and environmental remediation. Students completing the MS Hydrogeology receive both a practical skill set and fundamental knowledge base that make them highly competitive for careers in industry and government while also preparing them as outstanding candidates for continuing studies in a PhD program.
