Geosciences is the study of the Earth, including its formation and chemical, physical and biological aspects. These studies form the basis for improved approaches to issues in natural resources, geohazards, and environmental impacts.

Geosciences – Earth, Ocean, and Climate Emphasis students at University of Arizona study how the lithosphere interacts with the hydrosphere and atmosphere. The department’s renowned Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research uses tree-rings to study climatic, ecological, environmental and archaeological problems.

Courses include:

“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”​
