Overview

The Earth and Planetary Sciences course of Rutgers University also serves to lay a solid foundation for those students who desire to continue on with advanced graduate studies toward the Ph.D. degree either at Rutgers or at another institution.

Key facts

If the student has not already done so, during the first semester at Rutgers, the graduate student must select a Thesis Advisor and define a thesis research problem. Depending on areas of interest, the student should meet with appropriate faculty members, discuss possible thesis projects, and select a mutually agreed upon Thesis Advisor. In consultation with the Thesis Advisor, two other members of the EPS Graduate Faculty related to the area of research should be chosen to form the students Thesis Committee. The Thesis Committee will serve to advise the student on selection of coursework and thesis research. The Thesis Committee is formed by formally advising the GPD. Full-time students must complete this form by the end of the first semester.
