Program details

Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Water Science is a one-year, 9-credit-unit certificate offered by the University of Saskatchewan's School of Environment and Sustainability. It is designed for working professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of chemical processes, ecological considerations, and groundwater systems as they relate to water quality, and can serve as a pathway into the Master of Water Security degree. The certificate requires a minimum of 9 credit units of coursework. Classes are delivered fully online, allowing students to complete the certificate while continuing to work in their current role. The program targets applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline and want graduate-level training in water quality issues without committing to a full master's degree program of study.
