Water Resources Science Minor
Program description
Water Resources Science (WRS) students take a deep dive into the science behind planning, management, and designs necessary for our public policies related to water. Students will gain a holistic understanding of the hydrologic cycle and associated ecosystems as well as the interplay between biophysical sciences and social sciences.
The WRS graduate minor is structured in a similar interdisciplinary manner to complement many other graduate degree programs. The program involves faculty from the following departments on the Duluth campus: American Indian Studies; Biology; Chemical Engineering; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Civil Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Geography and Philosophy; Mechanical and Industrial Engineering; Physics and Astronomy; and Political Science; as well as the Large Lakes Observatory, Natural Resources Research Institute, and Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth.
