Water of the west

JD/MS or JD/PhD Water Resources

Launched in 2006, the University of Idaho Waters of the West (WoW) – the only interdisciplinary program of its kind in Idaho and one of few such programs in the nation – draws on expertise of 56 faculty members in seven colleges to integrate aspects of law, natural resources, engineering, political science and more. The unique program focuses on developing sophisticated strategies and solutions to the world's critical water shortage.

WoW is also the only program in the country to offer a joint Juris Doctor (J.D.)/Master of Science (M.S.) in Water Resources Law, Management and Policy, which can be completed in as few as four years. A joint J.D./Ph.D. in Water Resources Law, Management and Policy is also available.

Admission

Students are required to apply separately to the College of Law and the College of Graduate Studies, Water Resources Program, and on acceptance to each college, must apply to the concurrent degree program. Acceptance to both colleges does not have to occur simultaneously.
