The postbaccalaureate certificate in stream restoration science and engineering is a three-semester program producing graduates who understand how to blend engineering, physical, biological, and social sciences in prioritizing, designing, implementing, and evaluating stream restoration projects. Two courses, including an introduction to stream restoration and a restoration design experience are required. The remaining courses are chosen from a specified list of relevant courses taught across a number of University departments.
