Gain essential knowledge about the intricate relationships between soil, water, and atmosphere while exploring innovative methods to protect our planet's resources. Geoscience is an interdisciplinary field that examines Earth's systems, integrating approaches from Geography, Geology, Biology, Ecology, Chemistry, and related sciences. Ph.D. students in Geoscience deepen their comprehension of human-induced environmental transformations and develop research strategies to address these challenges, safeguarding biodiversity for years to come.
This environmental science initiative represents a cross-departmental partnership between UNT's Biological Sciences, Geography, Chemistry, Philosophy and Religion Studies departments, along with others, to investigate pressing ecological concerns from multiple academic viewpoints.
Graduate students can pursue environmental science studies culminating in a Ph.D. degree awarded by the Department of Biological Sciences. The curriculum, featuring both required and optional courses, caters to individuals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic between humanity and the natural world.

Qualification Requirements
Undergraduate GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 overall and greater than or equal to 3.2 in the last 60 hours.

Complete application.
A letter of intent to the department, including the specific program, faculty member contacts as prospective professor/advisor, professional goals and objectives, the reason(s) for choosing UNT, the Department of Biological Sciences, and the specific area of interest (Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or Environmental Science).
Three letters of recommendation to the department from former professors if the applicant is a recent graduate. One letter may be from an employer if the applicant has been employed for more than one year since graduation.
Submission of GRE scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections) is currently recommended.

Bachelor's degree with 24 hours in a life science or appropriate related science, 12 of which are advanced, a master's degree in a life science with a research-based thesis is desirable for programs in Biology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
