Program Learning Outcomes
The objective of the graduate program in Geophysics is to prepare students to be leaders in geophysics, in academia, in government, in the private sector, in non-profit and other organizations, through completion of fundamental courses in their major field and related sciences, as well as through independent research. Students are expected to:
apply skills developed in fundamental courses to geophysical problems.
research, analyze, and synthesize solutions to an original and contemporary geophysics problem.
work independently and as part of a team to develop and improve geophysics solutions.
apply written, visual, and oral presentation skills to communicate scientific knowledge.
master’s students are expected to develop an in-depth technical understanding of geophysics problems at an advanced level.
doctoral students are expected to complete a scientific investigation that is significant, challenging and original.
