The Department of Earth & Planetary
Sciences is one of the
few departments in the country with an integrated program of
instruction and research that treats Earth as a planet and
makes direct use of knowledge gained by exploring the solar system.
As a graduate student you will have the opportunity to explore
any of the many areas covered within the Department such as
geology,
geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology, and planetary sciences.
You will participate in research that involves laboratory measurements,
data analysis, theoretical approaches, or fieldwork at various
locations around the world. The Department offers graduate
programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees. We encourage
students with undergraduate backgrounds in earth sciences,
chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering to apply.
