The GRE General Test is required. Undergraduate preparation in physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, as well as in geology is recommended, the Graduate Group welcomes applicants who have majored in these fields, and will consider applicants from any field. The Graduate Group recommends that students who have not taken an undergraduate field-geology course make arrangements to do so before matriculating.
Ph.D. students must pass a preliminary examination showing command of a range of geologic sub-fields, and advanced knowledge of the field of proposed concentration. Before admission to degree candidacy, each student must present an acceptable proposal for thesis research, and pass an oral examination covering that proposal but also extending to a broad range of related knowledge. Ph.D. candidates must sustain a public oral examination on their theses and allied subjects.

Doctoral candidates are expected to have reading knowledge of at least one foreign language that is significantly represented in the geologic literature.
