About the program
The Earth Sciences program from University of Connecticut M.S. degree is designed to provide additional coursework and experience beyond a B.S. degree to train students to work as professional earth scientist, and(or) to serve as an intermediate step between the bachelors and doctors levels.
In earth sciences we offer two M.S. programs, and a third is pending.
- Research-Based/Thesis. Students complete at least 21 credits of graduate coursework, at least 9 credits of graduate research, research project culminating in a thesis, departmental presentation, and a final examination administered by the advisory committee. Also called Plan A.
- Coursework/Non-Thesis. Students complete 30 credits of graduate coursework and pass a final examination administered by the advisory committee. Also called Plan B.
- Fifth-year M.S. Pending approval by the University, we plan a 4+1 (4 year undergraduate + 1 year graduate) M.S. in Environmental Earth Science specifically designed to train the earth science workforce. This plan streamlines and combines upper division undergraduate and graduate courses for a coursework M.S.
