#The Academic Program

The Center now contains three academic programs that are interrelated - water resources management, geology and earth science. Students obtain baccalaureate degrees in these fields. It is now possible also to obtain a minor in water resources management. With these programs of study, the Center is also the focal point for environmental related studies at Central State University. The Center offers an interdisciplinary minor in environmental science in cooperation with the Department of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science (NSMCS).
Internally, the ICWRM is under Dean of the College of Business and Industry and works closely with the Manufacturing Engineering (MFE) and the Department of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science (NSMCS) in research, course offerings and in the general development of the University. The WRM curriculum takes advantage of related curricular strengths available at Central State.

Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Water Resources Management

When the International Center for Water Resources Management (ICWRM) was established at Central State University (CSU) in 1987 by Ohio Law, it provided for an innovative interdisciplinary program at the baccalaureate level that would integrate the engineering aspects of WRM with socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. At that time CSU was the only Institution that awarded an undergraduate degree in water resources management distinct from its selective inclusion in civil and environmental engineering curricula in the Nation. With its traditional base of students, the University aims at bringing diversity to the work force populace in the critical field of water resources management in which the representation of African -American is extremely low.

Areas of Emphasis Available

The current program allows for 4 areas of emphasis - engineering, environmental, socio-economic and managerial and computer applications, any one in which students can seek additional strengths. This would enable students to launch careers from a base in which they have excellent strengths. The WRM curriculum includes very innovative undergraduate courses such as Water Model Applications (WRM 401), Urban Water Problems (WRM 402) and Water Transportation Systems WRM (403). The basic curriculum enables the students to obtain an interdisciplinary focus on the issues related to water resources management.
