Water Alliance Education

MSU students conduct research, study abroad, and take advantage of the more than 200 academic programs MSU offers. Many of those academic programs enable students to focus on water; however, few of them have water in their name. To help students find programs related to water, we’ve listed key colleges and departments that have faculty and students active in water research and engagement. We also provide information on MSU Graduate School Fellowships for current graduate students.
