We currently offer two traditional graduate programs and a program in Environmental Science:
- MS in Geological Sciences (Options in Geology or Environmental Hydrogeology)
- MS in Environmental Science (Options in Environmental Hydrology, Environmental Biology, Geospatial Sciences & Environmental Engineering)
The MS in Geological Sciences is focused on hydrogeology and environmental science. Students receive both the theoretical and applied aspects of hydrogeology during their education. Alumni are employed with many consulting and government agencies in southern California and throughout the nation. Graduates may also choose to earn Ph.D.'s at leading universities.
It provides an opportunity for students to advance their research skills. It is designed to prepare students for teaching at the community college level, for employment in government and private industry, and for further graduate study in geography.
