College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics > Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences > Hydrogeology, Certificate
The Hydrogeology Certificate offered by the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences is available to both graduate students and non-degree seeking professionals. This certificate is designed for professionals who wish to be recognized as obtaining a broad background in the area of hydrogeology without completion of an advanced degree. This may include geologists currently working in the petroleum industry who wish to obtain positions in the environmental industry, as well as those with hydrogeology positions but lacking formal course work in that area. Classes for certification are part of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences regular course offerings and thus are generally offered once every two years.
For additional information regarding the certificate program and new elective course options for the certificate, please visit: http://www.uh.edu/nsm/earth-atmospheric/graduate/overview/.
