Graduate disciplines in atmospheric science, geology and marine sciences are offered.
Within marine sciences the subdisciplines of biological, chemical, geological and physical
oceanography are recognized by the profession.
Admission Requirements: A bachelor's degree with research experience or
a master's degree is required for entry into the Ph.D. program. The GRE Subject Test
scores are required only for applicants in biological oceanography. A bachelor's degree in
a science, mathematics or engineering is required for entry into the M.S. program in
atmospheric science, geology, and biological, chemical, geological or physical
oceanography. Undergraduate field camp is required of all students in the M.S. program in
geology; this requirement may be fulfilled before or after admission. An M.S. degree
with a non-thesis option for students on leave for a fixed period from government
positions is available and admission to this option must be requested at the time of
application.
Master's Degree Requirements: The M.S. degree requires a
minimum of 30 credit hours. Specific course requirements are determined
by the advisory committee of each student. However, MEA 601 Seminar is required of all
M.S. students no later than the third semester in residence. Marine science students are
required to take core courses in two of the three subdisciplines other than their own.
Doctoral Degree Requirements: Specific courses are determined by the
student's advisory committee. Registration in seminar, MEA 801, is required of all Ph.D.
students no later than the fourth semester in residence. Marine science students are
required to take core courses in all three subdisciplines other than their own; this
requirement may be fulfilled at the M.S. level.
Student Financial Support: Research and teaching assistantships are
available.
Other Relevant Information: Students are assigned initial advisors upon
admission. It is the student's responsibility to secure the consent of a faculty member to
serve as the permanent advisor who will chair or co-chair the advisory committee.
