Key Summary

    About: The Master of Science (MS) in Geosciences program provides advanced training in Earth sciences, focusing on geochemistry, geophysics, and geology. Students engage in rigorous coursework and hands-on research opportunities, gaining skills to analyze geological processes and data. The program reinforces theoretical principles while encouraging practical application in real-world scenarios.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as environmental consultants, geologists, hydrologists, or in resource management. Additional paths may include roles in government, non-profit organizations, and academic positions focusing on Earth science research and education.

Geoscientists study the Earth – its history, processes that shape it, natural resources we use, and connections between rocks, water, and ecosystems. Geoscientists are passionate about solving problems, helping communities, and answering questions about our natural world. Geoscientists work with minerals, water, rocks, fossils, soils, the environment, contamination remediation, energy and mineral resources, natural hazards, other planets, and more.

Our programs prepare graduates for high-demand jobs at environmental and geotechnical firms, federal and state regulatory agencies, museums, universities, energy and mineral resource companies, scientific agencies, the public policy sector, and beyond. The MS degree program trains students equally for professional practice and continued graduate study. The typical course of study takes two years to complete.
