Description: This innovative program provides students with real-world experience with either a one- or two-year program for preparation in the water and wastewater fields. The two-year degree includes technical study in water/wastewater procedures, complemented by math, science, social science and humanities classes, as well as an internship.

Graduates of this program work in municipal water and wastewater treatment plants and the collection systems and distribution systems that serve them. They become certified in one of four grade levels depending on the size of the community served and the complexity of the treatment.
