The water and wetlands specialization examines the technical, societal, and organizational dimensions of managing water resources, addressing water quality challenges, and rehabilitating aquatic ecosystems. While students can concentrate on either natural science or social science disciplines, the program requires coursework in both domains. The natural science component explores the physical, chemical, and biological processes within aquatic environments. Meanwhile, the social science curriculum focuses on policy development, legal frameworks, governance structures, and sustainable management practices for water and wetland conservation.
