One-Year Master of Science in Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology at UArizona: A New Model* for Student-Centered Master's Education

*We are awaiting official approval of these curricular modifications.

What Makes the UArizona Master's Different?

• Accelerated - Designed as a 1-year program, including completion of an in-person research project, and limited to 25 students.

• Collaborative - All class members take the same courses which are taught by world-renowned members of the faculty resulting in a cohesive cohort of students (instant study group).

• Project-based - All courses are project-based, giving students critical experience working with real-world data in small groups.

• Fully integrated - Courses are horizontally-integrated so assignments & projects span multiple courses resulting in a coherent, well-organized experience.

• Multidisciplinary - Course content combines physical and chemical hydrogeologic theory with hands-on measurement, cutting-edge analysis, and professional communication.

• Professionally aligned - The curriculum was designed in conversation with practicing hydrogeologists, so students will have regular, direct contact with professionals beyond academia.

• Pathway to higher education - Graduates from this program will be qualified to enter the PhD degree program in our Department.
