Courses

The courses in and related to hydrologic science are extensive within the three schools at Duke University. The breadth of material covered by these courses assures that graduate students in hydrology will obtain a thorough, well-rounded education in hydrologic science. Students also can enroll in additional courses at the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University. The classes listed below are organized into the categories of mechanics, transport, chemistry and quantitative methods.
