Students develop their study programs from a variety of courses in civil engineering and other departments and programs across OSU. Civil Engineering departmental courses typically form the major field of study. Supporting course work from other departments and programs is encouraged because of the breadth of the water resources engineering field and to take advantage of strong supporting programs in many natural resources departments on campus. The major field usually consists of a core of course work in surface and groundwater hydrology, hydraulic enginering, water quality, stormwater management, river engineering, and resource management. This is complemented by studies in a selected field such as environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, bioresource engineering, forest hydrology, stream ecology, geomorphology and geology, and resource economics, as well as many other possibilities.
