Master of Science in Atmospheric and Climate Science

The program leading to the degree of Master of Science is intended to enable students to grow with this field throughout their scientific careers, to recognize and understand new concepts, and to master new procedures as they emerge in the literature. Achievement of this objective requires that students understand the fundamental principles of physics that are relevant to the atmosphere, acquire a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of atmospheric properties and behavior, and develop critical facilities. Most students in this department take 7 quarters to complete a coursework-based (non-thesis) master’s degree.

Admission as a graduate student in Atmospheric and Climate Science is competitive. A minimum undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 (B average) is required. GRE scores are not required for application to our graduate program. Self-reported GRE scores will not be considered and will be redacted during application review.
