Overview

Key facts

The Master's degree is viewed as an entrance professional degree in numerous subdisciplines within the earth sciences (for example, engineering geology and environmental geology). Alternatively, graduate course work and the Master's research experience can provide an intermediate step prior to pursuit of the PhD. The Coterminal Program in Geological Sciences program is offered at Stanford University.

Regardless of their professional goals, coterminal BS/MS students are treated as members of the GS graduatecommunity and are expected to meet all of the standards set for regular MS students. Students may apply to the co-term program after earning at least 120 units toward graduation, including allowable Advanced Placement (AP) and transfer credit, as shown on their undergraduate unofficial transcript. For more detailed information, please read the Procedures for Coterminal Students. The coterm program is only open to current Stanford students.
