About the course

There is a wealth of information contained in the liquids, gases and mineral deposits found in the Earth, all with a wide array of industrial and scientific research applications. With employment expected to grow faster than average over the next decade, the demand for qualified, dedicated professionals will follow. The Graduate Programs in Geochemistry prepare graduates to take the next step in their careers with an interdisciplinary structure and two subprograms. The geochemistry degree track teaches students about the chemical evolution of the Earth?s crust and mantle, geochemistry of energy and mineral resources, chemical mineralogy and more. The environmental biogeochemistry degree track focuses on the coupled chemical and biological processes of the Earth?s biosphere and the changes caused by human activities.
