PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
To earn the Water Policy Certificate, students must complete a 12-unit program of study that includes core courses and thematic courses. Core courses focus on fundamental aspects of water law, policy, and economics. Thematic courses include a wide variety of specific topics and disciplines, so that individual students can customize a program to meet their particular interests.
Students must take at least two courses (six credit hours) selected from the core and up to two courses (six credit hours) selected from the thematic list. Core and thematic courses can be taken in any order, though the normal sequence would be to take core courses first. Students may select additional core courses to meet the thematic course requirement.
All students must have their plan of study approved by the GCWP Faculty Coordinator (see Contacts) and then submit it to the Graduate College. All courses are taught at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Core Courses
At least two core courses for a total of six credit hours are required. All four required courses may be selected from the Core.
Thematic Courses
Students may choose up to two thematic courses for a total of six credit hours.
COUNTING CREDITS
Students may count up to 12 units of the courses taken under the Water Policy Certificate program for their graduate study requirements in their regular degree program; however, acceptance of these courses is at the discretion of the degree-granting unit. Up to six units from a previously completed UA graduate or professional degree may count toward the Water Policy Certificate, as long as they were taken within four years of the date that the student completes the requirements for the Water Policy Certificate.
