地质学硕士

西华盛顿大学提供地质学硕士学位课程，旨在为学生提供西北太平洋及西北太平洋地区及以后的地球科学职业的专业就业机会，或为继续攻读博士学位做好准备。我们专注于结构/构造，岩石学，火山学，地貌学，地球物理学，水文地质学和环境/工程地质学，地热能，沉积学，行星地质学和地球科学教育。该计划通常会导致在咨询公司，地方，州或联邦政府基于资源的计划机构中就业，以及在社区学院或中学中任教。该学位还为MS级以上的研究生学习以及对从事相关职业（例如环境法，自然资源管理或政策）感兴趣的人提供了基础。该部鼓励采取综合，多学科的方法。
Western Washington University offers a Masters program in Geology that aims to prepare students for professional employment in geoscience careers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond or for continuing graduate studies at the doctoral level. We specialize in structure/tectonics, petrology, volcanology, geomorphology, geophysics, hydrogeology and environmental/engineering geology, geothermal energy, sedimentology, planetary geology, and geoscience education.<br><br>This program normally leads to employment in consulting firms, in local, state, or federal government resource-based or planning agencies, and in teaching at community colleges or at a secondary level. The degree also serves as a foundation for graduate studies beyond the M.S. level, and for those interested in pursuing related careers, such as environmental law, natural resource management, or policy. The Department encourages an integrative, multi-disciplinary approach.
