Course Overview
Once enrolled in the SWES graduate degree program, students may concurrently pursue a Graduate Certificate in Water Policy. There is flexibility in both course selection and schedule, to meet the specific needs and interests of a variety of students. The program is interdisciplinary. The department also offers two dual degree options: the Master of Science in Soil, Water and Environmental Science and a Master of Arts in Journalism; and a dual Ph. D. in Soil, Water and Environmental Science and MBA from the Eller College of Management. Graduates with the dual MS/MA degrees would be able to make important contributions not only to discussions within news organizations about the ways in which information about science should be gathered and evaluated, but also discussions in the fields of science and journalism about the ways in which this information influences public perceptions and public policy, and therefore the effects of science on society. Those with the dual Ph. D. /MBA would be prepared for science-related careers in industry and government that require understanding of development, production and regulation, as well as skills in management and leadership. The SWES department strongly supports attendance at professional meetings. Student presentations at meetings and student publications are likewise encouraged. Numerous workshops on topics ranging from the Internet to scientific writing are regularly available.
