Hydrogeology - Illinois State University

Hydrogeology from Illinois State University is a Campus Master Hydrology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The Master of Science in Hydrogeology program is designed to equip students with the tools needed for a successful career in hydrogeology, whether in the private sector, government, or academia. Our graduate program is focused, offering only a masters degree and only in the field of hydrogeology. We offer a core curriculum of required courses that allow our graduates to claim the title of "hydrogeologist". The Department operates its own well field close to campus which serves as a focus of both teaching and research activities. We have a broad view of what hydrogeology means, particularly with respect to research. Students also have the opportunity to explore interests within almost any aspect of the hydrologic cycle through elective courses and thesis research. We also offer exposure to other aspects of geology, geography, and hydrogeology through the department's weekly seminar. Recent speakers have included the National Groundwater Association Darcy Lecturers Richelle Allen-King, Allen Shapiro, and Kip Solomon. Graduates from our program can expect to gain the following skills and experience: A strong grasp of the theoretical and mathematical representation of groundwater flow and solute transport (see our course offerings and research projects). Practical experience in collecting and interpreting field data (see our Environmental Geology Field Camp course and our field equipment). A working knowledge of hydrogeologic software tools (see our computer facilities), including several courses in groundwater modeling and GIS (Hydrogeology Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Graduate Certificate). Communication skills appropriate for a working professional. View more details on Illinois State University .
