专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) offers a wide range of courses leading to the Master of Science in Geophysics degree. Required core courses ensure a breadth of knowledge in the discipline including rock physics, seismic wave propagation, geophysical data analysis, and potential field methods. A wide variety of electives allows concentration in areas such as exploration, geotechnical, or environmental geophysics, solid earth geophysics, petroleum exploration, marine geophysics, earthquake seismology, and geodynamics. The typical student pursuing this degree is interested in geophysics and has a good background in the geosciences, mathematics, physics, and computing. Graduates will typically pursue careers with resource companies; geophysical service companies; various federal, state, and local government agencies; in the financial sector; in education; or will continue study to pursue a doctorate.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science (MS) degree will be awarded after students have successfully completed requirements specified in one of the two following plans:

Plan I: Thesis Option

All students completing the thesis option must complete and defend a thesis acceptable to the department.

This option requires a minimum of 30.0 approved Credit Hours, to include

Formal Earth and Atmospheric Science courses (GEOL) at the 6000 level or higher Credit Hours: 15.0 Thesis courses (GEOL 6399 & GEOL 7399) Credit Hours: 6.0 Elective courses Credit Hours: 9.0

Courses can be selected from approved courses outside the area of Earth and Atmospheric Science (GEOL), but relevant to the degree program, with prior permission of the Geophysics Graduate Faculty Advisor. No more than 6.0 Credit Hours of special problems courses can be counted towards the required 30.0 Credit Hours minimum.

Plan II: Non-Thesis Option

Completing a thesis is not required, but students must take additional course work and have the option of completing a capstone research project.

Students may satisfy the MS Plan II degree requirements by satisfactorily completing a minimum of 36.0 approved Credit Hours, to include

Formal Earth & Atmospheric Science courses (GEOL) at the 6000 level or higher Credit Hours: 30.0 Elective courses Credit Hours: 6.0

Selections should be courses at the 6000 level, or above, and can be selected from approved courses outside the area of Earth and Atmospheric Science, but relevant to the degree program, with prior permission from the Geophysics Graduate Faculty Advisor. Students can petition to have a 3-hour elective course substituted for a capstone project (GEOL 7301 - Capstone Project)
