Michigan State University is offering online watershed management courses to 
cater to those with busy personal and professional lives.
Those who want to continue their education and enhance their skills in 
watershed management will find these courses well suited to their interest. 
The on-line classes also offer participants a chance to interact with others 
weekly through selected discussion topics. Individuals who complete all four 
courses (3 credits each) will receive a Professional Certificate in 
Watershed Management. Students can also take one or more courses in the 
program without pursuing certification to obtain more knowledge in a 
particular area of interest. 

Anyone with interests or responsibilities in various aspects of watershed 
management, including agency personnel, environmental organizations members, 
drain commissioners, health officials, developers and educators will find 
these courses beneficial. 

Course topics include:
· Watershed planning
· Pollution prevention
· Economic sustainability
· Overall environmental improvement
· Partnerships with stakeholders affected by resource management decisions
· Management techniques based on strong science and data
· Watershed Assessment and Tools, including data utilization, interactive 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and modeling programs. 

These courses are delivered entirely over the Internet (i.e., can be taken 
from your home or office) and offered three times a year during fall, spring 
and summer semesters. Michigan State University is a national leader in 
providing education, information and ongoing services to communities and 
individuals involved in watershed planning. For more information please
