Introduction
Certificates are designed for working professionals, statewide, nationally, and internationally, and provide background and depth in the concepts and tools currently used in water science and assessing environmental contamination. The environmental contaminant assessment certificate will lead to a significant depth of knowledge in environmental toxicology, risk assessment, environmental sampling design/data analysis and reporting. The water science certificate including emphases in water quality, hydrology, and water management and policy.  These certificates are consistent with an M.S. in Environmental Science, the largest interdisciplinary program at the University of Idaho. With graduate committee approval, graduate students may include the certificate courses as part of their study plan. Non-degree student can enhance their knowledge in this area without seeking a graduate degree, and simultaneously build a strong foundation for a master's degree at a future date.

Prior to starting work on a certificate, students must have completed an undergraduate degree in a related field from an accredited institution. Course credits earned as an undergraduate student may not be applied toward a certificate.
