Coursework. The graduate program in
hydrogeology consists of coursework in hydrology, geology,
mathematics, and supporting classes in engineering, aqueous
geochemistry, and soil science. The coursework is predominantly
quantitative and students are recommended to have a strong
undergraduate background in geology, hydrology, and mathematics.
To some extent, deficiencies in these areas can be made up in the
first year of graduate studies. A
listing of coursework used by most hydrogeology students is
available. The program is strongly collaborative with other
departments at OSU.
Thesis: All students must complete a
thesis in the Geology program. The thesis is on a research topic
in hydrogeology, and is planned and directed by the advisor (Haggerty
or Wildenschild) in collaboration with a committee.
More information: Information about
application to graduate school in the Dept. of Geosciences can be
found on the
department's
web pages.
