Overview

University of Michigan students who are currently pursuing an Earth and Environmental Sciences major are eligible for our fifth-year Masters program.

Key Facts

Students who are interested in the fifth-year MS are strongly encouraged to discuss their plans with their EARTH undergraduate advisor early in their junior year. The GRE test is not required for students applying to this program.

Students in the fifth-year MS program complete a capstone experience that synthesizes and causes reflection on their education progress. In most cases, this experience is a publishable scientific paper or a report on a research project. We require that students be engaged in active research/research experience prior to matriculation that will lead to their MS thesis.

Because of the accelerated timeline, it is expected that students will make a full-time commitment to the program and will not engage in full- or part-time work or activities apart from their research. We also expect students to remain in residence until the thesis is completed, even if coursework is complete.
