Overview

The Hydrogeology curriculum at Clemson University is structured to impart a strong background in field experimentation complemented by laboratory studies and computer modeling.

Learning outcomes

Students may pursue a variety of research projects in hydrogeology and related areas such as environmental geochemistry, geophysics, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geostatistics, environmental remediation, and groundwater contaminant flow and transport modeling. Students completing the MS Hydrogeology receive both a practical skill set and fundamental knowledge base that make them highly competitive for careers in industry and government while also preparing them as outstanding candidates for continuing studies in a PhD program.

Students are required to complete 24 hours of coursework and 6 hours of research credit.

Of these course credits, one must be a modeling course (GEOL 8080 recommended), a field course (GEOL 8750 recommended), and a minimum of three other 8000-level geology courses.

General requirements

The Clemson University Graduate School oversees the admissions process for all graduate programs at Clemson University. Criteria used in making decisions will vary according to the college and program you’re applying for, but all decisions include an evaluation of your potential for graduate-level work and the ability of a program to accommodate additional students.

Typically, each academic department accepting graduate students will form an admissions committee and review all requests, then forward the committee’s recommendations to the Graduate School for final approval and processing.
Candidates should have a baccalaureate degree in geosciences; however, students with strong undergraduate backgrounds in other fields of science or related engineering disciplines may be admitted but required to correct deficiencies in their geological education during their first year.
