MS in Geoscience Program at UNCW

Association of American Geographers
The Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington is recruiting students to enroll in the MS in Geoscience program for Fall 2018. The MS Geoscience is an exciting, applied research program with three tracks (geology, earth processes, and geospatial science) and opportunities for personalizing the program to suit your career goals and research interests. The program focuses on linking classroom experience with hands-on fieldwork in a multitude of geographic settings and sub-disciplinary or interdisciplinary frameworks. This program has significant community engagement and collaborations including a thriving Internship Program with local, regional and federal partners where you can gain experience and apply your academic training. UNCW's MS in Geoscience is intellectually challenging and rewarding, with collaborative projects among students, faculty and community partners. Being on the Atlantic coast, there is plenty of opportunity to study coastal environments and resilience issues, yet our diverse faculty conduct research around the world!

Competitive funding in the form of graduate teaching or research assistantships are available. Applications are evaluated as soon as they are submitted so applicants are encouraged to apply by March 1st with a final deadline of April 15th deadline.
