In this program students can elect to concentrate in Geoscience within the Environmental Science PhD. Geoscience is the scientific study of Earth processes from an interdisciplinary perspective that combines perspectives from Geography, Geology, Biology, Ecology, Chemistry, and other disciplines. Students in the Environmental Science PhD program desiring a Geoscience Concentration must take five of the following courses in geoscience, such as Geog 5400 (Environmental Modeling) Geog 5630 (Soils Geomorphology), Geog 5700 (Global Environmental Change), Geog 5750 (Surface water Hydrology), Geog 5850 (Introduction to Groundwater Hydrology), Geog 5960 (Introduction to Remote Sensing), or Biol 6320 (Remote Sensing). Classes taken for elective core-group credit (e.g., Environmental Modeling or Global Environmental Change) may additionally count in the concentration. Students entering the Ph.D. program immediately after a Bachelor’s degree are required to take a minimum of 72 hours of graduate-level course work (may be more depending on individual degree plans), while students entering the Ph.D. program after the Master’s Degree are required to take a minimum of 42 additional hours (may be more depending on individual degree plans).
