The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree in Geology. This program is designed to prepare students for: employment as geologists in government (city, county, regional, state, and federal) and private enterprise (engineering and geotechnical firms, mining and oil companies, etc.), research at the doctoral level in various aspects of geology, geochemistry, and geophysics depending on their undergraduate background, and the Community College Instructor Credential (the master's degree requirement). The department also provides continuing education for professional geologists, engineers, planners, etc.<br>To serve graduate students who are employed during the day, graduate courses in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences are offered in the evenings. In addition to regular catalog courses, graduate seminars address diverse subjects, recent seminars have focused on mineral deposits, earthquakes hazards, sediment transport, and modern depositional environments. Opportunities exist for access to additional facilities and part-time employment at Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. Students registered at Cal State East Bay may enrich their graduate programs by enrolling in courses through cross-registration at the University of California, Berkeley.
