 View Basket View Basket
Provider Northwestern Michigan College
Date of last update 2/13/2013
Description NMC's Freshwater Studies Program is truly one-of-a-kind. Beginning with the 2009 fall semester, students enrolled in this program are able to earn an Associate in Science and Arts Degree for Freshwater Studies -- the only one in the United States. Reflecting rapidly emerging career paths, you will have a choice of three general streams: science and technology, global freshwater policy and sustainability, or economy and society. The Freshwater Studies degree builds on existing courses such as watershed science and oceanography. Your coursework also will include an introduction to water studies, introduction to GIS (Geographic Information Systems), a field experience and internships. This science-based program has an interdisciplinary approach designed to offer students flexibility and a variety of opportunities that are especially critical in these challenging economic times. The degree is intended both for students who plan to enter the professional arena as well as those who wish to further their studies at a four-year school.
