Bachelor
of Hydrology (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Hydrology (BS) program helps
students develop the skills to manage water
resources around the world. The students
acquire a greater awareness of climate change,
land degradation and population growth which
create stress on our limited water resources.
The Bachelor of Hydrology (BS) program is
offered online via distance learning. After
evaluating both academic record and life
experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Hydrology
(BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.

or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete

Job Description
Bachelors in Hydrology
Hydrologists examine the physical characteristics,
distribution, and circulation of water above
and below the earth's surface. They study
rainfall and other precipitation, the paths
precipitation takes through the soil and
rocks underground, and its return to the
oceans and air. The government and private
industry use this information about water
properties and movement patterns for a variety
of purposes.
Many hydrologists assist in water conservation.
The work they do is very important for environmental
preservation; for instance, they may project
water shortages, analyze the quality of
potential water sources, or monitor the
inflow and outflow of reservoirs. Some hydrologists
forecast and help to prepare a region for
conditions such as flooding, snowmelt, drought,
and the formation and melting of river ice.
