All Oceanography degree programs are open to anyone holding a bachelor's degree in one of the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering. As a minimum standard, a B average is expected in all undergraduate classes and GRE General Test scores above the 60th percentile (in both verbal and quantitative) are recommended. Current enrollment trends indicate that a record considerably above the minimum is necessary to assure admission to the limited number of places available. International students whose native language is not English are also required to achieve a score of 80 or better on the Educational Testing Service's Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and to take (and report scores to this department) the Test for Spoken English (TSE).
Students also should have completed mathematics through partial differential equations (MAP 4341 or equivalent), have had a course in computer programming (CGS 3014 or equivalent), and have had at least one year of physics with calculus with a laboratory. Satisfactory completion of these general requirements is expected to precede graduate level work. A score of at least 300 on the aptitude test (verbal and quantitative) of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and a minimum GPA of 3.0 in upper-division undergraduate courses is normally required for admission. The GRE may be waived upon meeting specific academic criteria. Please see the EOAS website for the most up to date information. Three letters of recommendation are required.
