The Department of Earth Sciences offers Master of Science programs focused on thesis research (Plan A). Candidates must successfully complete a Comprehensive Examination, conduct original research, and produce and defend a Dissertation. The curriculum emphasizes building expertise in geography, geology, or geobiology. Mandatory for all first-year graduate students is enrollment in the Graduate Program Seminar (ERTH 594, 2 credits) during fall quarter. Given the department's interdisciplinary nature, no standardized core curriculum exists beyond this introductory seminar. Students work closely with their advisor and graduate committee to design individualized course plans. Cross-disciplinary studies may be recommended to strengthen specialized research interests within Earth Sciences. Some students might need prerequisite courses to address gaps in their academic background. The M.Sc. program requires 30 total credits, combining dissertation work with advanced coursework.
