Graduate Programs
At the graduate level we offer a Ph.D. program in Geosciences, an M.Sc. in Geosciences and an M.A. in Earth Sciences. Our Ph.D. and M.Sc. programs are intended as professional degrees for students continuing in a geosciences career. Our M.A. program is intended for students who plan careers outside the geosciences but whose work or specialty would benefit from an in-depth education in the geologic sciences.
