Master of Science in Geology

Graduate education has two major objectives: first, to obtain adequate mastery of subject matter in a chosen field, and second, to demonstrate the ability to perform and present the results of original and creative research. The first objective is attained through course work and independent study, and the second involves preparation of a thesis or dissertation. M.S. candidates in geology are required to prepare a thesis. All students pursuing the Ph.D. degree must present a dissertation. The major goal of course study is to develop a professional scientist who is both well educated and versatile. This requires a comprehensive background in one or more specialized areas, a broad understanding of several related fields of knowledge, and practical experience in teaching and research. With this kind of education, the graduating student will be equipped to become a competent professional, one who will be qualified for a variety of employment opportunities, depending on personal preference and on current needs of universities and industrial or government organizations. This graduate training should also provide the background necessary to permit the graduate to continue self-education and not to become obsolete as the chosen area of specialization changes with time through increased quantification and new developments.
