Texas
and Texas A&M University—
A Great
Place to Study and Prepare for a Career in Water
The
Texas A&M University Interdisciplinary Graduate Water Degree
Program, which is administratively housed within the College
of Geosciences,
is a unique masters and doctoral program that has been designed to integrate
diverse disciplines in water management and hydrologic science. We are
committed to educating the next generation of water managers and scientists.
Degree Options
The
interdisciplinary character and practical orientation of this degree
program reflects the growing complexity of water issues.
Over the past
twenty-five years, population shifts, industrial developments, changes
in law, and advances in technology have intensified competition for
water resources and placed new burdens on planners, policy makers
and managers.
Increasing problems of water pollution or water supply require not
only an understanding of water chemistry and transport systems
but also an
appreciation for the short and long-term implications of water
allocation and land-use practices. Implementing effective solutions
demands
an ability to communicate and work effectively with a diversity
of professionals,
policymakers, and concerned citizens.
