(CADGS)
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Depositional Geosystems (ADG) trains both traditional (those with BS degrees in geosciences) and non‐traditional students (those with bachelor’s degrees in other science and engineering fields) for career opportunities in the energy industry and in government agencies, and in academia. Providing students with training in this field enhances their knowledge of geology and their communication skills, forming a basis for work in energy and water exploration, as well as environmental geology and engineering.
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Depositional Geosystems will be awarded to students successfully completing five courses (15 hours or more). Courses include two required courses and three thematically related courses (see the Department’s Graduate Student Handbook and the Department website for details). For students who are concurrently pursuing the ADG GC and either the MS or PhD degree in Geology & Geophysics, the three thematically related courses are selected with the guidance of the student’s advisory committee. For students pursuing the ADG GC only, the three thematically related courses are selected with the guidance of the Department’s Graduate Advisor.
