Graduate Program
Geological Sciences at CWU offers a competitve and well-known two-year master's program. Research projects vary with our diverse faculty with projects ranging from studying the uplift and exhumation of ultra-high pressure metamorphic rocks, tectonics and igneous petrology, to seismic and landslide hazards
Most graduate students often leave the program with jobs waiting. Many M.S. students work for consulting firms, goverment agencies such as the U.S.G.S or the Washington Geologic Survey, with many other graduates continuing onward to complete a Ph.D., with all happy to have had their learning experience with the CWU Geology Department.
