The Institute of the Environment at Tufts University invites applications for MSc students in Sustainable Water Management (SWM) to begin in September 2018. This 12-month program provides real-world, practical experience and will be located at Tuft University in Medford, Massachusetts.

The SWM program is an intensive one-year professional Master of Science degree that addresses the growing international demand for interdisciplinary water management experts. Through the program's curriculum of four core classes, four track-specific classes, a seminar, and a summer practicum, students develop the skills, expertise, and experience needed to address the challenges and opportunities of sustainable water management.

The Sustainable Water Management program offers four program tracks, including Water Diplomacy; Water, Food, and Energy; Water Infrastructure for Human Settlement; and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in International Development and Humanitarian Response.

Upon admission, students will select one of the four program tracks, which will direct the secondary coursework and summer practicum.

Applicants to the M.S. Program in SWM must have a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in any background from the physical sciences to the social sciences. Work experience in a related field is considered desirable, but is not required. Students will be selected based on academic background, related work experience, and his/her passion for the field.

Applications should be submitted online through the Tufts University Health Sciences website (https://gradhlthsci.admissions.tufts.edu/apply/), where applicants will have the option of selecting the Friedman School and the Masters of Science in Sustainable Water Management program.

The application fee will be automatically waived during this application period. Student aid is available and up to $3000 is guaranteed for summer stipends.

Applications must include:

  • Academic Transcript;
  • Resume;
  • Three letters of recommendation;
  • Two essays, including a personal statement and a short essay in which the applicant will choose one of two prompts;
  • GRE score, which could be waived (Contact swm [at] tufts.edu for further information); and
  • Minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 90 for applicants who are not native English speakers and who do not have at least three years of English instruction in secondary school.
