• Planetary geology
• Quaternary sciences
• Regional geology
• remote sensing
• Seismology and seismic hazards

Course Work -31 cr of graduate courses, including:

• GEOL 795 Comprehensive exam (1 credit, taken second semester for all M.S. programs)
• 24 credits of coursework (at least 12 credits at the 700 level); 3 of these 24 credits must be GEOL 790 (1 credit)
• 6 cr of thesis (GEOL 797)

Course selection will be determined in conjunction with your advisor, committee, and the program graduate director. Examples of possible courses include:

• GE 684 – Groundwater Hydrology (3 credits)
• GPH 655 – Geophysics and Geodynamics (4 credits)
• GEOL 671 – Ore Deposits (3 credits)
• GEOL 720 – Modern analytical Techniques in Earth Sciences (3 credits)
