About the Certificate

The graduate certificate in Stormwater Management requires 12 credits of coursework that foster the student's expertise in addressing the effects associated with stormwater management. Increased stormwater runoff, causing flooding and erosion in urban stream ecosystems, is a growing environmental issue.

  • an undergraduate engineering degree;
  • educational or professional background in environmental science, geomorphology, hydrology or stormwater management; or
  • professional experience in civil or environmental engineering, stormwater management, or land development.

Up to nine credits may be applied to the Environmental Engineering MSEnvE.
