• Students can choose a program of study leading to either the designated master's degree (with thesis) or the undesignated master's degree (without thesis).
  • In either program of study, students can specialize in atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and clouds; dynamics of weather and climate; geochemistry; geophysics; oceanography; paleoclimate; planetary science; and remote sensing. 
  • With approval of the School's faculty, multidisciplinary programs of study are also permitted. 
  • Students entering the master's degree program need an academic background that includes a minimum of one year of university-level courses in calculus, chemistry, and physics. 
  • Students who lack this academic background are required to complete appropriate remedial courses, for which they will not receive graduate credit.
