MS Water Resources Management at University of Wisconsin-Madison

Programme overview

The Water Resources Management (WRM) program is an interdisciplinary graduate program leading to a master of science (MS) degree in water resources management. The program addresses the complex, interdisciplinary aspects of managing water resources by helping students integrate the biological and physical sciences (which identify and assess problems) with engineering (which defines technological alternatives) as well as law and the social sciences (which assess needs and potential for institutional response). Through the WRM program, a student gains breadth in relevant planning and management areas while developing depth in an area specialty.
