Program Overview
The Earth Systems Program offers current Stanford University undergraduates the opportunity to apply for a one-year coterminal master’s program. The Earth Systems Program is interdisciplinary. Students may select the topic area where they’d like to advance their knowledge in consultation with their master’s advisor. Students learn about and investigate complex environmental problems caused by human activities in conjunction with natural changes in the Earth system. Earth Systems Coterm students gain advanced knowledge to tackle the world’s most pressing social-environmental problems and sustainability challenges.

M.S. Thesis Resources
The Master of Science degree in Earth Systems allows specialization through graduate-level coursework.
The following are required of all M.S. students:
A minimum of 45 units of coursework and/or research credit (upon approval).
At least 34 units of the student’s coursework for the master’s program must be at the 200-level or above. All remaining coursework must be at the 100-level or above.
Up to nine units of research (Earthsys 297 and/or Earthsys 250) may be completed with their Master’s Advisor. This will enrich building mastery in the field through regular communication with their Master's Advisor.
Students may use 8 units of Earthsys 323: Stanford at Sea towards the required 45 units. Please note- Although the entire 16 unit course must be in your graduate career, only 8 units will be applied towards the required 45 units.
