Overview

The focus of this Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences program from Rice University is on career advancement, not original research, and includes an industry internship as part of the program.

Key Features

Students can choose from focus areas in energy data management, geology or geophysics. A practical work experience is required as part of this degree program.

Students admitted to the program do not receive a stipend, but most earn a salary during their internship and have access to partial corporate scholarships.

Programme Structure

Our faculty are internationally known experts in their fields. Many have received prestigious junior, mid-career and senior awards in research as well as public service.

We conduct both academic and applied research, but the common thread that binds us together is the belief that real progress is driven by fundamental research. We have one of the strongest programs in the country in deep Earth sciences, environmental science, and surface processes.
