New Master's Degree in Water, Society and Policy

July 8, 2010

The University of Arizona has a new graduate degree program that integrates science, policy and decision-making in the arena of water. The purpose of this degree is to provide opportunities for students to pursue professionally oriented study in an MS degree program that focuses on water science, society, and policy. In this way, we can help train a corps of leaders in water policy who understand both the science and social aspects of water. Sharon Megdal, WRRC director, and Lisa Graumlich, former head of the School of Natural Resources and the Environment, were instrumental in formulating this new degree program.
