Water Resources Management

The water resources management program in the College of Sciences is a flexible, interdisciplinary course of study leading to a master of science degree. It is a technically and scientifically based program that blends the physical aspects of the hydrologic sciences with policy and management issues.

The program, recommended for those with undergraduate degrees in physical, biological, natural sciences and engineering, social sciences, management, environmental studies, or related disciplines, encourages multidisciplinary study and research with participating faculty at UNLV from the colleges of Sciences, Business, Urban Affairs, Engineering, and Liberal Arts, the Boyd School of Law, as well as participating faculty from the Desert Research Institute and federal, state, or local agencies.
