Hydrology is an Earth science focusing on the movement, storage, and properties of water in the environment as well as the interaction of water with environmental systems and human activities. At the center of this field of study is a set of physical processes such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, and streamflow that transfer water in the environment and affect water quality. Hydrology involves the application of mathematical descriptions of these processes as well as statistical methods to account for the spatial variability and temporal dynamics in hydrologic systems. Many tasks in civil and environmental engineering such as water supply planning, storm sewer design, irrigation system design, water rights administration, stream restoration, environmental protection, floodplain planning and management, and drought mitigation involve some type of hydrologic analysis, modeling, and decision making. Hydrology is also closely related to numerous policy issues such as the potential effects of climate change, aridity, deforestation, and cloud seeding.

GRE General Test for M.S. and Ph.D. applicants
Those seeking advanced degrees may be recommended for admission to the Graduate School by the department to which the application is submitted if faculty and facilities are available and if all the applicant’s undergraduate grades average 3.0 or higher (A = 4.0). International applicants must rank among the top students in their classes. For strongest admission consideration, applicants should have a 3.25 GPA or higher on a scale of A = 4.0.

In general, students applying to the Ph.D. program should have a prior master degree. Students without a master degree but have significant reserch experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

In very rare cases the Department is willing to consider an applicant with a GPA below 3.0. In such cases we look very strongly at 5+ years of work experience in Civil Engineering, strong GRE’s and if the PE exam has been taken and passed.
Minimum TOEFL score for admission without condition is 550 (paper based), or 80 (internet based). Minimum IELTS score for admission without condition is 6.5.
