流域科学哲学博士

犹他州立大学是该州唯一一所专门研究自然资源的大学，而分水岭科学学位的独特之处在于，它们使学生有机会整合物理学，化学和生物学知识，以了解分水岭系统。该计划的学生学习与水有关的物理过程，包括气候，地表水和地下水，河流形成，土壤科学和水化学。该学科侧重于保护水生系统，包括水文学，地貌学，河流修复，水污染，气候变化和水生生境的课程。毕业生准备担任联邦和州机构的水文学家，湿地专家和流域管理人员。每个学生都有自己的研究生委员会为其制定的个性化学习计划。学生可以在校园内的其他部门参加课程，包括土木和环境工程，植物，土壤
Utah State University is the only university in the state with a college devoted to the study of natural resources, and the watershed science degrees are unique in that they allow students the opportunity to integrate physics, chemistry, and biology to understand watershed systems. Students in the program study water-related physical processes, including climate, surface and ground water, river formation, soil sciences, and water chemistry. This discipline focuses on protecting aquatic systems and includes coursework in hydrology, geomorphology, stream restoration, water pollution, climate change, and aquatic habitats. Graduates are prepared to work as hydrologists, wetland specialists, and watershed managers for federal and state agencies. Each student has an individualized plan of study created for them by their graduate committee. Students are able to take courses in other departments on campus, including civil and environmental engineering, plants, soils, and climate, and geology. This program encourages students to gain a broad-based education in areas related to watershed systems and water resource use.
