The Master of Science in Sustainable Water Management equips students to face global water challenges through an intensive year of study.

The Sustainable Water Management (SWM) program is an intensive one year professional Master of Science degree which addresses the growing international demand for interdisciplinary water management experts. Through its curriculum of four core classes, four track-specific classes, a seminar, and a summer practicum, students develop the skills, expertise, and experience needed to address the challenges and opportunities of sustainable water management.

SWM graduates are multidisciplinary water experts with a skillset that encompasses water policy, the economics of water, leadership, quantitative analysis, and water science and systems. Our program prepares water leaders for future professional careers at the forefront of driving sustainable water management solutions for global challenges.
