MS in Aquatic Science

Become a freshwater expert capable of using scientific knowledge to solve complex problems and protect valuable water resources. More than 95% of our students land well-paying jobs or begin a Ph.D. program in their chosen field. Our job placement rate is high because faculty and staff work with students to explore freshwater careers, build a network, and develop the professional skills that will help them land a job.

Required career development coursework helps you develop essential leadership skills and build real-world connections through mock interviews, resume-building activities, elevator pitches, and mentorships with industry leaders in water-related organizations. An internship with a water-related business, government, or nonprofit organization gives you the experiences and connections to launch your career while still in school.
