Bachelor of Science in Watershed Science and Sustainability - Watershed Data

The Watershed Data concentration focuses on fusing data science skills and techniques with deep knowledge of the physical, chemical, social, and biological factors that affect the quantity and quality of water as it moves through ecosystems. Students will engage in field, laboratory, and classroom research in both watershed and data science courses, and graduate with a Minor in Applied Data Science in addition to their major. The program starts with students taking core foundational physical and mathematical courses that build towards an understanding of how to use watershed data to better understand watershed function and management. Core classes emphasize watershed science, data analysis, data science techniques, and combining these skills for dynamic research and reporting.

Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

Articulate core concepts in watershed science and sustainability including climate processes, surface and subsurface hydrology, water quality, human uses of water, and sustainable water management.
Apply data science techniques to spatial and temporal datasets to address watershed and water resource problems.
Collect, analyze, and interpret meteorological, hydrological, and water quality, water use and management data.
Analyze watershed problems and sustainability challenges using geospatial data, field observations, sensor data, and watershed models.
Demonstrate strong critical thinking, writing, and oral communication skills.

Submit your most recent transcripts or mark sheets. We will ask for additional materials if necessary. All decisions are provisional until a final, official transcript verifying graduation is received. Only transcripts sent directly from the school or stamped and sealed are considered official. If a record is not in English, a certified literal English translation must accompany the transcript.

High school performance, as reflected on a student's transcript(s), is an essential component of the admission decision for all freshman/first-year applicants and for transfer applicants with fewer than 30 post-high school credits.

High school transcripts for transfer applicants with more than 30 post-high school credits are considered only when needed to satisfy the admission requirement in mathematics.

All freshman/first year applicants and all transfers with fewer than 60 post-high school college credits must submit proof of high school graduation or equivalent prior to the start of their first semester of enrollment.
