The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) provides diverse course options for students pursuing a Master of Science in Geophysics. Foundational core classes establish comprehensive understanding across key areas like rock physics, seismic wave behavior, geophysical data interpretation, and potential field techniques. Students can specialize through electives in exploration geophysics, geotechnical studies, environmental applications, solid earth processes, petroleum exploration, marine systems, earthquake analysis, or geodynamic modeling. Ideal candidates possess strong foundations in geosciences, mathematics, physics, and computational methods with a passion for geophysical studies. Degree recipients often find employment with energy firms, geophysical contractors, government entities at all levels, financial institutions, academic settings, or proceed to doctoral programs.
