专业概况

在这里学什么？

The master of science program has two options: Geology and Geophysics. These programs are designed to: (1) train individuals with the competence required by the geological profession for employment in industry and government agencies; (2) enable promising students to attain a level of knowledge and research ability necessary for admission to and success in Ph.D. programs; and (3) provide depth and breadth of knowledge, laboratory teaching experience and fundamental research skills essential to students planning to teach geology at the community-college level. Students with strong backgrounds in math and physics and whose research interests and career plans are related to geophysics should choose the Geophysics Option. All others should choose the Geology Option.

Student Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the Master of Science program will be well prepared to assume responsible positions in industry or in government agencies, serve as instructors in secondary school or community college classrooms, or enter Ph.D. programs at other universities.

At the time of graduation, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate content knowledge appropriate to professional career goals.
• Frame novel questions or problems in geology and determine the data required to answer them.
• Collect high-quality geologic data using standard techniques and begin to develop state-of-the-art methods.
• Apply theoretical, conceptual and observational knowledge to the analysis and interpretation of geologic data.
• Compile and critique geologic literature pertinent to original research.
• Communicate geologic knowledge, findings and interpretations in reports, both written and oral, that are well organized, well-illustrated and professionally presented.
