Admission into the Geophysics Program from Physics
Students are initially accepted into the Graduate school in the physics department. The Committee has no part in this process, except for providing information about the program to those students who know from the beginning that they wish to pursue a degree in Geophysics. No student is admitted directly into the Geophysics Program on entry into the Graduate School, though the intent to pursue a degree in that program may be understood by all parties.
A student may apply for admission to the Geophysics Ph.D. Program by letter addressed to the chair of the Committee.听The letter must be endorsed by an authorized member of the faculty of the physics department (usually the听), showing departmental approval of the transfer of the student into the Geophysics Program. This should precede submission of the听听to the Graduate School, which is due 2 weeks听before听the comprehensive exam. (A guide to Graduate School deadlines and rules is online at the Grad School).
After review of the application and approval by the chair of the Committee, the student is notified by letter that he or she is accepted into the program. A copy of this letter will be sent to the Graduate Program Assistant of the physics department, who will change the program from the physics department to Geophysics (GEOP). After that point, the听course and exam requirements of the Geophysics Program听need to be followed.
