Overview
Key facts
The department's graduate coordinator, in coordination with the departmental faculty, appoints an academic adviser during registration with appropriate consideration of the student's background, interests, and professional goals. In consultation with the adviser, the student plans a program of course work for the first year. The Earth System Science program is offered at Stanford University.
The student should select a thesis adviser within the first year of residence and submit to the thesis adviser a proposal for thesis research as soon as possible.
The academic adviser supervises completion of the department requirements for the M.S. program as outlined below until the research proposal has been accepted; responsibility then passes to the thesis adviser. The student may change either thesis or academic advisers by mutual agreement and after approval of the graduate coordinator.
