Operational Hydrology Certificate at University of Alabama

Programme overview

The goal of the Operational Hydrology certificate is to create an interdisciplinary education program that produces graduates capable of applying new prediction tools (e.g., Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML)) to advance the science and practice of hydrologic forecasting (e.g., forecasting of floods, drought, water quality, stream temperature) across space and time scales and improve the societal response to the forecast (e.g., emergency response, long-term planning.) The certificate program prepares students for success in applied hydrology research and practice.

Application information

Entry requirements

Students will be required to submit an application that includes unofficial transcripts, one letter of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and a resume. These application requirements apply to both degree-earning and non-degree-earning students. To be eligible for admission, prospective students need to have an overall cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0 or better. Applications will be evaluated based on three criteria: academic and research performance (based on the transcripts, resume), research potential (based on the letter of recommendation), and fit with operational hydrology (based on statement of purpose, resume).

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Entry terms: Fall, Spring and Summer (the admissions page lists Spring, and Summer/Fall priority deadlines).
