M.S. Water Resource Policy

There is increasing pressure on water resources across the nation and the world due to increasing human population, failing infrastructure, and climate change. Water resource policy professionals will be needed to balance the need for fresh water in both urban and rural spaces, as well as in developed and developing countries. The Master of Science in Water Resource Policy degree program is designed to provide students with a breadth and depth of knowledge relevant to issues related to water resource. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact graduate program director Mark Luttenton ([email protected]) for more details. Visit the online catalog for courses and program details.
