The Program in Hydrogeology (certificate)

The Program in Hydrogeology, administered through the Department of Earth and Geographic Sciences (E&GSCI) offers a sequence of courses which, taken as a whole, will teach the concepts, techniques of evaluation, and applications of the broad field of ground water study. The program includes examination of geologic principles relevant to hydrogeology, traditional ground water resource evaluation, and modeling of ground water phenomena using current applicable software. Additionally, this program is intended to be interdisciplinary; electives from chemistry and mathematics may be taken as part of the program.

The program is designed for majors in E&GSCI or any other discipline in which an understanding of hydrogeological phenomena would be beneficial. It is also useful for those professionals already working in the fields of site assessment, evaluation, and/or remediation, who may wish to acquire technical education toward certification as a licensed site professional.

Eligibility

The program is open to all undergraduates at the University of Massachusetts Boston, as well as to non-matriculated students, or working professionals. E&GSCI majors may enroll in the program; four courses taken as part of the program may count toward their major.

For matriculated students, successful completion of the program is recorded on official University transcripts when they have met all CAS graduation requirements. Non-matriculated students receive a certificate of completion.
