About Bachelor of Science - Freshwater Science and Sustainability

Program Description

In 2014, Western Michigan University and Northwestern Michigan College joined forces to expand the study of fresh water—a critical natural resource that is in limited supply and under threat.

The institutions developed an interdisciplinary curriculum that allows students to earn a Bachelor of Science in freshwater science and sustainability. Students wishing to conduct all of their freshwater science and sustainability studies in Traverse City may enroll at NMC and earn an associate degree, then seamlessly transfer to WMU-Traverse City and complete the final two years of coursework required for the bachelor's degree. Students also may enroll in the bachelor's-only version of the program offered on WMU's main campus in Kalamazoo.
