The M.S. program in Geophysics is structured to encourage students with strong science, math, or engineering backgrounds to apply for admission by being flexible in terms of coursework required. Based on their background, the M.S. committee for such a student will require a set of courses that will allow them to achieve knowledge equivalent to the B.S. degree in Geophysics at the University of Oklahoma within one year. This plan must be agreed upon prior to admission and must be approved by the graduate affairs committee of the school.
