The Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences (GPHS) offers Doctoral degrees in Hydrology and Hydrogeology. The program provides training to scientists and engineers in the broad areas of ground water, watershed sciences, water quality and water treatment, environmental restoration and water resource evaluation. The degrees are structured to provide a foundation in water resources with an emphasis in a student's chosen area or areas. Several areas of emphasis are available, including ground water modeling, subsurface contaminant transport, surface water hydraulics and geomorphology, ecohydrology, and surface water quality management. Students may also define their own areas of emphasis by developing a curriculum from a breadth of graduate courses offered across the campus. The Program is strongly interdisciplinary, with faculty support and participation from the College of Science, the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, the College of Engineering, the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Business, the Desert Research Institute, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. The curriculum and course offerings represent a blending of engineering and science based materials. Research and teaching assistantships, as well as several fellowships, are routinely made available to students accepted into the program.
