Graduate
Ph.D. in Geology
The Ph.D. degree in Geology is a research-oriented interdisciplinary program. Students
participate in high-impact research and scholarship to develop, apply, and disseminate
scientific knowledge about Earth and planetary systems and their evolution in space
and time. Research areas within the geology program span a wide range of sub-disciplines
and geographic locations.
Students design their specific curriculum of high-quality, skills-based geology courses
with their major professor and advisory committee. This flexibility enables students
to tailor their degree to support their research interests and career goals.
