The Water Resources Management program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is a flexible, interdisciplinary study leading to a Master of Science degree. It is a technically and scientifically-based program that blends the physical aspects of the hydrologic sciences with policy and management issues. Students enter the program from various undergraduate programs, then take classes and research with faculty from federal, state, and local government agencies.
