Admissions

Please visit the Geophysics admissions website opens in a new tab for more information on our application, important deadlines, and other relevant information.

To apply for admission to the Geophysics coterminal MS program, students must submit the coterminal online application, including submission of a transcript, a statement of purpose, and at least two letters of recommendation. Applications with a letter of recommendation from a Geophysics faculty are generally considered the strongest. Additional letters from other academic or work-related persons also strengthen the application. There are no specific GPA requirements for entry, but the department looks for proven performance in a rigorous undergraduate curriculum as a prerequisite for admission.

Undergraduates with at least junior-level standing may apply, and applications should be submitted by autumn quarter of the senior year.

The graduation requirements to obtain the degree are identical to those for the regular Geophysics master’s degree.

For university coterminal requirements see the applicable sections of this Bulletin.

Please contact Geophysics department staff for more information.
