University General Course Catalog 2024-2025
Hydrogeology, B.S. in Hydrogeology
|
|
 Return to: Programs in the College of Science
A sound foundation in physical, chemical, geological and quantitative sciences as a basis for understanding the hydrologic cycle and managing water resources. NOTE: Because of the significant amount of common interdisciplinary coursework, students having their major within the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering may not also have a minor from within the Department.

Program Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to:
- demonstrate competence in oral and written communication skills, including the ability to write and present independent research and the ability to read and critically evaluate relevant geological literature. (C)
- demonstrate critical thinking and reasoning as part of their professional skills. (CT)
- identify, formulate, and solve complex problems by applying principles of science and mathematics. (QR)
