Postgraduate

Hydrogeology/ Environmental Geology; Professional Sciences Master’s degree
United States
The program provides graduate-level training on topics in geology, soil, and water that are used in environmental management, but differs from a traditional M.S. in that it also includes environmental law, business, and project management courses and a capstone (not a thesis) project. A Professional Science Master's degree in Environmental Geology (PSM-EG) and Graduate Certificate in Environmental Geology are available. The Certificate can be earned entirely online; All PSM-EG courses can be taken online, with the exception of three, face-to-face field workshops.

Organised by University of Kansas.

Hydrogeology
United States
The certificate program combines our highly regarded six-week field course (now optional) with three geoscience electives (12 credit hours total). The geoscience electives are offered online and also at our main campus in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Since its inception in 1987, our hydrogeology field course has been attracting students and professionals from across the nation and the world. The field course is offered in Kalamazoo, Mich. each summer.

You’ll spend six weeks in the field getting hands-on experience in:

Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER).
Geophysical methods of investigating ground water.
Aquifer testing.
Groundwater sampling and monitoring.
Well drilling and installation.
Remediation design and implementation.

Environmental Geology
United States
University of Georgia’s online M.S. in Environmental Geology is designed for working professionals who wish to open up careers in industries dedicated to the exploration of natural resources (energy, metals, minerals, water), public-sector regulation and protection of the environment, and environmental remediation. The 30-credit program includes such courses as: Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry, Hydrogeology, Hazardous Waste Site Remediation, and Water Resource Economics and Management. The program also includes a non-thesis research component designed to provide real-world experience. Six units (1-2 courses) are taken for five consecutive semesters (21 months) with 100% asynchronous instruction. An undergraduate degree in geology is not required for the program.
