Requirements for Watershed Science Certificate
     Open to all students in any major, the Watershed Science Certificate is jointly administered by faculty in the Departments of Forestry and Geology, Biology, and Chemistry, and is linked to the University's broad Environmental Studies Program.
    Students pursuing the Certificate will take a range of courses that focus on water resources and watershed science. Each student will complete the Certificate with the Watershed Science Capstone course, a multidisciplinary, project oriented course.

Students deciding to pursue the Certificate should contact one of the following faculty members to develop his/her study plan.
