Graduate Programs
M.S. in Geology
This is a two year
program with specialization in stratigraphy, paleontology, sedimentology, oceanography,
structural geology, tectonics, plate tectonics, computer modeling, geophysics, igneous
petrology, volcanology, geochemistry and paleoclimatology. An oral thesis defense is
required. Students in this program are prepared for additional graduate work at the PhD.
level, or for positions in industry and government. Thesis and non-thesis options are
available. The non-thesis option requires a research report and additional course work.
The thesis option is recommended for positions in business or government requiring
gathering and analyses of geologic data, and for students interested in Ph.D. programs.

M.S. in Environmental
and Earth Science
This is a multidisciplinary program with courses in civil engineering,
geology, biology, chemistry, and Urban and Public Affairs. An undergraduate degree in
science or engineering is a prerequisite for admission. Electives in graduate geology,
hydrology, environmental geology, geophysics or geochemistry courses provide focus within
the interdisciplinary structure. Graduates are prepared for interdisciplinary
communication and will be competent in positions requiring solution of complex
environmental problems. This degree is excellent preparation for environmental programs at
the Ph.D. degree level and for positions in the environmental industry. A final program
examination is required. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. The non-thesis
option requires a research report and additional course work.

Ph.D. in Environmental
and Earth Science
This program requires a minimum of three years beyond the masters degree, which must be in
one of the biological, physical, earth or environmental sciences for admission. Thirty
semester hours of appropriate graduate courses are required for admission without a
masters degree. One year of course work beyond the EES masters degree is normally
required. A dissertation, diagnostic examination, comprehensive examination, and oral
dissertation defense are required. Proficiency in one foreign language, or advanced
computer skills, research statistics, or operations research must be demonstrated.
Graduates are prepared for university teaching and research in environmental sciences, and
for research and management positions in industry and government.
