Florida State University is one of the nation’s elite research universities — with the Carnegie Foundation’s highest designation. FSU offers a distinctive academic environment built on its cherished values, unique heritage, and welcoming campus on the oldest continuous site of higher education in Florida. The location of the university is in the heart of the state capital, surrounded by a precious environment, state parks and nearby pristine beaches.
In the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, we have a broad offering of graduate programs which include degrees in geology, environmental science, meteorology and oceanography. Each degree has its own requirements and expectations, but all of our programs aim to provide the highest quality of education with intensive research experience.
The goal of our programs is to prepare students for specific careers in academia, government or industry. Students are encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed literature as part of their dissertation research.
