• HWRS XXX Other newly-approved HAS graduate courses - Consult with the Director of Graduate Studies to determine eligibility

HWRS courses published in the catalog that are crosslisted with other departments (courses whose instructors reside in other departments) are not automatically approved as electives. A maximum of one three-unit non-HWRS course* may be approved for the study plan, but the number of units may not exceed 25% of the total number of units required for the Certificate. Approval is required prior to enrollment and completion.

No transfer coursework from another university may be used for the Certificate program.

Language Requirement: None

Campus: All courses are offered through the Main Campus

Online Courses: None available at this time

Non-Degree Coursework: After completion, some graduate units may be eligible for use in a degree-seeking program. Consult with the Director of Graduate Studies-Hydrology for further information.
