所有入学的研究生的课程背景都会在入学时进行评估。如果认为某些地区存在缺陷，则录取可能取决于背景课程的完成。到达后，每位即将毕业的研究生的课程背景将由学生的顾问进行审查，以确定他/她计划的学习计划是否存在背景缺陷。被认为背景不足的学生将与他/她的教职顾问协商，确定应采取哪些课程来减轻这种缺陷。背景缺陷通常将在研究生学习的第一年弥补。一些补习课程可能不会计入研究生学分。每个研究生必须注册一次EEPS 509（一学分的课程）。作为EEPS 509的一部分，学生将发表论文招股说明书或谈论他/她已经阅读或与他/她的
The coursework background of all incoming graduate students is evaluated at the time of admission. If deficiencies are deemed to exist in some areas, admission may be contingent upon completion of background courses. After arrival the coursework background of each incoming graduate student will be reviewed by the student's advisor to determine whether background deficiencies exist for his/her planned program of study. A student whose background is deemed deficient will, in consultation with his/her faculty advisor, determine which courses shall be taken to alleviate the deficiencies. Background deficiencies will normally be made up in the first year of graduate study. Some remedial coursework may not count toward graduate credit.Every graduate student must register once for EEPS 509, a one-credit course. As part of EEPS 509 the student will present his/her thesis prospectus or a talk about some research problem in the Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences about which he/she has been reading or which is related to findings in his/her dissertation research. The purposes of EEPS 509 are to maintain communication about research within the Department, to enhance the breadth of the student's knowledge, and to give the student training and practice in presenting ideas orally before a group. Although the student may registration for EEPS 509 during any semester it is recommended that the student register at least one semester before his/her defense to enhance his/her skills at making a scientific presentation.
