Master of Science (MS)in Geology
The Department of Geology offers the M.S. degree to students who are either seeking to improve their professional qualifications or seeking preparation for advancement to a PhD program. Students can pursue either a thesis option (GEOL 500) or non-thesis option (GEOL 596). Students wishing to pursue the GEOL 500 option must obtain Advisor approval to apply for the thesis option and have that application accepted by the Graduate Committee. Students who pursue the GEOL 500 options are encouraged to present their findings at regional, national, or international conferences, and to prepare results for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Students not applying for thesis option will automatically pursue the GEOL 596 Comprehensive Examination option.
