The water resources major at The College at Brockport is a challenging, interdisciplinary study of the science of hydrology and associated earth environments. Course work includes hydrology--the scientific study of water--and the closely related earth and physical sciences, including geology, chemistry and physics.
Water Resources majors must earn a minimum of 43 credits (cr.) in hydrology and the closely related earth and physical sciences. Additional requirements are two semesters each of calculus, college chemistry with laboratory, and college physics with laboratory.
Core courses (43 credits):
| GEL 201 | Introduction to Physical Geology | (4 cr.) |
| ESC 211 | Introduction to Meteorology | (4 cr.) |
| ESC 350 | Computational Methods in the Field Sciences | (3 cr.) |
| ESC 351 | Laboratory Experiences in Scientific Programming | (1 cr.) |
| ESC 391 | Writing in the Earth Sciences | (1 cr.) |
| ESC 412 | Hydrology (with lab) | (4 cr.) |
| ESC 418 | Watershed Sciences | (3 cr.) |
| ESC 494 | Senior Research | (1 cr.) |
| ESC 495 | Senior Seminar | (1 cr.) |
| GEL 415 | Geomorphology | (4 cr.) |
| GEL 457 | Geochemistry | (4 cr.) |
| GEL 462 | Groundwater | (4 cr.) |
| Designated electives by advisement (see below) | (9 cr.) |
NOTE: To make normal progress toward the degree, students should take ESC 391 and ESC 350 in the sophomore year (or junior year at the latest), ESC 494 in the junior year, and ESC 495 in the senior year. In planning your program of study, please note most 400-level required courses are offered every other year.
Designated electives (9 credits):
| ESC 313 | Environmental Climatology | (3 cr.) |
| ESC 325 | Wetlands Systems | (3 cr.) |
| ESC 430 | Geographic Information Systems | (4 cr.) |
