Completing the Certificate

To complete the certificate, students must take the foundation course (BAE 532/CE 542 Introduction to Stream Restoration) and at least three credit hours from each of the three primary focus areas: engineering and science, water quality, and policy and management. At least six of the 12 credit hours must be from outside the student’s major area of study (graduate students only) or undergraduate degree discipline (post-baccalaureate only). Courses numbered 400G-499G count toward the certificate only for non-majors.
