Deep Thinking!

Lead the world in environmental remediation and pollution prevention as a geosciences professional. As the magnitude of environmental problems including: soil and water contamination; waste disposal; human induced natural disasters such as landslides and floods; and a need for environmentally safe energy extraction methods increases your technical expertise as a Geologist needs to include a sound understanding of geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology.

Penn’s world-class faculty and university resources point the way. Advance your career with a master’s degree with a focus in either hydrology, engineering geology, or environmental geology when you choose the Master of Science in Applied Geosciences (MSAG) Program through Penn’s College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS). This program also provides the academic foundation for licensure as a Professional Geologist (P.G.) in the state of Pennsylvania.

Earn your MSAG degree without interrupting your career. With day and evening classes available, you can complete the 12-course program, either full- or part-time, in just two to four years. Penn faculty and advisors work closely with you to develop the program that matches your unique goals and schedule.
