Overview

The Science program from Boston College stresses a strong background in the earth sciences, as well as the ability to carry out research. Students lacking a science background may be required to complete certain subjects at the undergraduate level before or during their graduate program.

Students are encouraged to obtain broad backgrounds by taking courses in geology, geophysics, and environmental geosciences along with the other sciences and mathematics. Multidisciplinary preparation is particularly useful for students seeking future employment in industry.

Features

The program prepares students for successful careers as geoscientists in the environmental consulting and engineering industries, natural resource exploration, government service, or for continued studies toward a Ph.D.

A particularly beneficial aspect of the M.S. program is the opportunity for students to integrate studies in geology, geophysics, and environmental subjects.
