Overview

The Geosciences program of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee trains students equally for professional practice and continued graduate study. The typical course of study takes two years to complete.

Graduate Advising

All graduate students must have a major professor (advisor) to oversee their progress and to supervise their research. Initial selection of potential major professors is generally related to research interests expressed in the application statements. Due to the eclectic nature of faculty research interests it’s very important for M.S. and Ph.D. students to determine their area of study early in their graduate career.

Although we try to determine a faculty advisor during our admission process based on the shared interests in a student’s application this is not necessarily a permanent assignment. The more our applicants know about a faculty member’s research projects the easier these decisions are for everyone involved.
