About the ProgrAm
The Water and Environmental Technology (WET) College Certificate Program offers the intellectual exposure and on-thejob experience, required to operate and manage a wide range of water treatment technologies. The program recognizes that the efficient application of water treatment technologies is essential for the survival of earth's population and ecosystems, and that the technologist is largely responsible for the day-to-day compliance with treatment requirements. WET students study water and wastewater treatment processes, and are introduced to topics that include water chemistry, microbiology, toxicity and pollution prevention. Coursework and hands-on experience in utility equipment maintenance completes the technical program. Completion of the program will help prepare graduates to write the entry level water and wastewater certification examinations administered by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
