Water Quality Elective*
All students are required to take a minimum of one course that deals with some aspects of the quality of water (broadly defined) rather than strictly with quantity (e.g., flow/hydrodynamics). Below is a list of eligible courses. If you are interested in taking a course not on the list, you may petition (informally) the Twin Cities or Duluth DGS to have it approved.
