专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington offers a program of study leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in geoscience. The primary goal of the program is the development of professionals capable of conducting research in the geosciences through broadly based study of modern Earth and ocean processes and their ancient analogs.

The program includes a thesis and non-thesis option, both of which provide a foundation for advanced study or employment in the geological, geospatial technology, environmental fields, mineral and energy industries, and government agencies. For example, completion of the non-thesis option with a geology concentration assists students toward professional licensure in geology. In addition, the thesis option is designed to prepare students for advanced study leading to the doctoral degree.

Specific goals of the program are to provide advanced research and educational opportunities in the geosciences, and to prepare geoscientists for solving contemporary problems in Earth, ocean and environmental science. Specific objectives are: 1) to develop research competence in the geosciences; 2) to develop professional competence in the assessment of water, energy and mineral resource potentials through the integrated analysis of geological and geographical data using advanced technologies; 3) to develop a level of research competence in the geosciences that encourages continued effort towards an advanced (e.g., doctoral) degree or professional licensure; and, 4) to provide the scientific community with meaningful geologic, geographic, and oceanographic data.
