A 5-year B.S. /M.S. in Geological Sciences and Marine Geosciences allows qualified UM Undergraduate students to complete a master’s degree in one year of study beyond the B.S. In doing so, students can save both time and money.
By the beginning of their junior year students should have obtained a graduate faculty advisor, selected an approved topic for research, and begun work on their senior thesis as preparation for the M.S. In the senior year, students will increase their focus on graduate courses and work closely with their graduate faculty advisor. While courses cannot be double counted between the B.S. and M.S. degrees, some graduate courses can be taken as an undergraduate and transferred to the graduate program. During the final year, students complete the required M.S. course work while expanding their undergraduate research and completing the M.S. thesis.
