The Water Science program is designed to prepare students for employment in water resources, including water and wastewater operations, hydrology, and water quality for local, state, and federal agencies, and private industry.
Earning the one-year certificate in Water & Wastewater Operations provides foundational general education along with training on specific topics within these fields to help prepare for the Washington State Operator in Training (OIT) exams. Working industry professionals are brought in as adjunct faculty to teach classes providing current and relevant subject matter.
This certificate is included in our 2 year associate's degree in Water Science. Students may choose to earn this certificate on its own, or as part of the degree. To see the program map for either program, please visit our website and reach out to our faculty for more information.
