The Master of Science (MS) in Geosciences program equips students for diverse career paths in sustainable earth sciences, renewable energy, mineral resources, hydrology, environmental fields, and other industry, government, and academic sectors. Designed by distinguished faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas, the program delves into geophysics, geology, water systems, sustainable energy solutions, tectonic processes, seismic activity, geological formations, sedimentation, geospatial technologies, and explores Earth's composition, structure, evolution, and natural processes.
Entering students are expected to have completed the equivalent of the University's BS degree in Geosciences, including courses in physics, mathematics and chemistry. Students whose undergraduate training is in a science other than geology or geophysics are admitted to the program when their previous course work complements or supports their intended research interests. Deficiencies in the undergraduate background of admitted students will be addressed through a sequence of four required graduate courses.
