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.
Offering times are subject to change or cancellation. Check with the department or registrar
