 Welcome                         

The Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department expects that all graduates will have an understanding of the fundamental principles and practices related to the primary areas of the Earth and Ocean Sciences. 

The graduate program has no department-wide required curriculum with core courses.  Rather, a specific Program of Study is created for each student in consultation with his/her major advisor. For further program details and  requirements, please see the:
