地球与大气科学系（EAS）提供了广泛的课程，从而获得了地球物理学理学硕士学位。必修的核心课程可确保该学科的知识面广，包括岩石物理学，地震波传播，地球物理数据分析和势场方法。各种各样的选修课可以集中在诸如勘探，岩土或环境地球物理，固体地球地球物理，石油勘探，海洋地球物理，地震地震学和地球动力学等领域。攻读该学位的典型学生对地球物理学感兴趣，并且在地球科学，数学，物理学和计算机领域拥有良好的背景。毕业生通常会在金融部门，教育领域与资源公司，地球物理服务公司，各种联邦，州和地方政府机构一起从事职业，或者继续学习
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) offers a wide range of courses leading to the Master of Science in Geophysics degree. Required core courses ensure a breadth of knowledge in the discipline including rock physics, seismic wave propagation, geophysical data analysis, and potential field methods. A wide variety of electives allows concentration in areas such as exploration, geotechnical, or environmental geophysics, solid earth geophysics, petroleum exploration, marine geophysics, earthquake seismology, and geodynamics. The typical student pursuing this degree is interested in geophysics and has a good background in the geosciences, mathematics, physics, and computing. Graduates will typically pursue careers with resource companies, geophysical service companies, various federal, state, and local government agencies, in the financial sector, in education, or will continue study to pursue a doctorate.
