Texas State University is offering a comprehensive doctoral program in Aquatic Resources in the Department of Biology, with the objective of graduating exceptionally-trained professionals. The program seeks highly-motivated individuals to develop research aimed at understanding and managing aquatic resources from the landscape (drainage basin, groundwater aquifer) to the population, organismal and microbial scale. In addition to its science base, a unique feature of this program is to provide graduates with the background and skills in aquatic and natural resource issues to enable them to work skillfully within the management and policy arena. Because complex issues involving aquatic resources require solutions from a broad range of fields, this research-emphasis program also integrates the diverse expertise residing in other departments at Texas State, including Agriculture, Chemistry, English, Geography, Health Sciences, Philosophy, Sociology, and Political Science. Further information on the doctoral program is available on the web site: www.aquaticresources.bio.txstate.edu.

Exceptional students with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in relevant disciplines also will be considered for admission. Additional qualifications are listed on the above-noted aquatic resources web site.
