Welcome to the page that describes graduate
studies in the Morton K. Blaustein Department of Earth
and Planetary Sciences. We offer programs leading to the Ph.D.
degree in a wide range of disciplines, covering the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Oceans, Geochemistry, Geology
and Geophysics and Planets. Our
goal is to educate scientists who will make fundamental
and lasting contributions to their fields. The
graduate program is designed to give every student
the training and the tools needed for independent research
and a rewarding scientific career.
The core of our program is a close working
relationship between the graduate student and faculty members at the
cutting edge of research, with an education and research program tailored
to meet the particular goals of each student. Examples of graduate
student research and graduate student life in our department can be
found throughout the pages of this web site. Graduate students
in Earth and Planetary Sciences are full members of our academic family.
They receive financial support in the form of tuition fellowships,
research and teaching assistantships, and special scholarships. They
share offices in Olin Hall; have access to all laboratories and research
facilities; and participate fully in seminars, field trips, and other
professional and social activities.
We are seeking motivated students from a
variety of backgrounds. An undergraduate degree and/or professional
experience in the earth or planetary sciences is beneficial, but it
is not a requirement for graduate admission to our department. Indeed,
we encourage applications from interested students with undergraduate
degrees in any of the physical and biological sciences, mathematics,
and engineering.
If you would like to join our department
as a graduate student, please follow these few steps to apply for
admission. First, it is advisable (although not necessary) to directly
contact the department faculty members whose research programs interest
you; See Research Programs
