Applicants for a PhD degree in Earth and Ocean Sciences should have a master’s degree (or equivalent) in a closely related science. In order to be competitive, applicants normally require a GPA of at least 6.0 (B+) or its equivalent to be recommended for admission. Students with a GPA between 5.0 (B) and 6.0 (B+) may be recommended for admission in special circumstances (e.g., relevant work experience, demonstrated research ability, etc.) at the discretion of the School. Students with a bachelor’s degree who want to enter the PhD program should apply to the MSc program and request a transfer to the PhD program after at least two terms.
