The integrated program leading to a bachelor of science and a master of science degree in Earth Sciences is available through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The opportunity is available to qualified undergraduate students who are enrolled in the Earth Sciences major or who are completing a specialization or minor in Earth Sciences. It is open only to UCSD undergraduates, and entails participation in research in an area of the earth sciences to be determined jointly by the student and a committee of Earth Sciences faculty at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Applications will only be accepted during the final quarter of the applicant?s junior year, or the first or second quarter of the senior year. A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 overall and 3.3 in upper-division Earth Sciences courses is required for admission. Applications must include a written statement of purpose, a summary of the research proposal, and a letter of support from the potential M.S. thesis adviser. Students must complete requirements for the B.S. Degree before they are enrolled in the M.S. program, and are expected to meet the requirements for the M.S. degree within three consecutive academic quarters after obtaining the B.S. Students may be dropped from the program if breaks in enrollment occur. The Earth Sciences Program does not have financial aid available for students enrolled in the program.
