Interdisciplinary Water and Health Sciences Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Water and Health Science is available to MS and PhD students. Students who successfully complete the 9 credits of water INTERface coursework will be eligible to apply to receive the certificate. Students may be affiliated with any department but need mentorship agreement from a certificated Water IGEP Faculty (Table 2). The IGEP is a non-degree granting program, thus students will have a home department (i.e., that of their graduate advisor) with specific degree requirements.
