The interdisciplinary doctoral programme encourages students from varied undergraduate backgrounds to study the physics of the Earth, with emphasis on its interior, specializing in a subfield while gaining grounding in geology, physics and engineering.
Faculty: College of Arts and Sciences | Department: Geophysics (interdisciplinary) | Duration: Minimum 60 credit hours | Location: Boulder, CO, United States
At least 30 credit hours at 5000 level or above plus 30 dissertation hours, for a 60-credit minimum. Required courses are Earth and Planetary Physics 1 (Seismology), 2 (Geodesy) and 3 (Geodynamics), a geophysics seminar, and one graduate applied mathematics course.
Students enter by applying to a participating home department (aerospace engineering sciences, astrophysical and planetary sciences, civil/environmental/architectural engineering, electrical and computer engineering, geography, geological sciences, mechanical engineering or physics), then apply to geophysics after passing the home department's doctoral preliminary examination.
Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
Graduate applications are submitted online to the Graduate School; the nonrefundable application fee is $60 for domestic applicants and $80 for international applicants. Deadlines are set per programme.
