Water Cooperation and Diplomacy Master

After working on transboundary water management in the Middle East, I knew I wanted to further my studies and increase my knowledge in this area. I was delighted when I found the master's program in water cooperation and diplomacy, and knew almost immediately it would be perfect for me.
Being from the US but having interests in international water issues, the international and american university aspect of the program had a big draw for me. My experience was heightened both inside and outside of the classroom, as I learned an incredible amount from my classmates and colleagues as well as the professors, all experts in the field from all three universities. I am very grateful for this program and am excited to utilize my newly honed skills and knowledge in my career.
