If you have questions specific to the Earth Sciences application process, please contact the Earth Sciences Graduate Secretary. Please note: The Department of Earth Sciences does not have general admissions to our graduate programs, meaning prospective students should contact individual faculty members to discuss the potential for graduate research in advance of applying. Students interested in working with Associate Members should familiarize themselves with the departmental policy for Associate Member supervision of graduate students.
