The Master of Natural Science program with a concentration in Earth and space sciences is designed to meet your needs as a professional seeking a graduate-level degree. It's especially suitable if you desire professional training rather than research training. The program must be transdisciplinary; you are expected to emphasize coursework in two or more areas of specialization. The program offers you the opportunity for graduate training in the natural sciences (i.e., biological sciences, mathematics and physical sciences) and cognate areas. The program's flexible design allows you to create individualized professional graduate programs tailored to your background and goals.
