该系提供研究生课程和研究课程，以获得地质学或地球物理学硕士学位。鼓励学生通过参加地质学，地球物理学和环境地球科学以及其他科学和数学课程获得广泛的背景。多学科准备对于寻求未来工业就业的学生特别有用。该部门约有20名研究生，住在DevlinHall，并在Weston天文台设有额外的研究设施。学生与教师保持密切的工作关系，同时能够使用现代科学设备进行研究。该计划强调地球科学的强大背景，以及开展研究的能力。它为学生在环境和工程行业，石油和天然气勘探或政府服务领域的地球科学家，或继续攻读博士学位的成功职业做好了准备。MS课程的一个特别有益的方面是学生有机会将地质学，地球物理学和环境学科的研究结合起来。该部门的研究涉及广泛的主题，包括：沿海和河口过程，物理沉积，地震和勘探地震学，地貌学，结构地质学，火成岩和变质岩石学和地球化学，解释构造学，地下水水文学，沉积学，生物地球化学和环境地质学和地球物理学。与波士顿学院卡罗尔管理研究生院合作，地球与环境科学系为感兴趣的学生提供参加综合MS/MBA学位课程的机会。该计划的完成导致两个学位的授予。该计划是工业或金融地球科学管理职业的良好准备，包括环境和石油工业，自然灾害评估，自然资源评估和投资等领域。在申请该计划时，学生有两种选择。第一个也是最理想的选择是让学生在首次申请波士顿学院时直接申请并获得艺术与科学研究生院和卡罗尔管理研究生院的认可。GRE是必需的，可能会要求GMAT考试。学生可以联系地球与环境科学系获取两个课程的信息和申请材料（请注明您对双学位课程感兴趣）。入读地球与环境科学系的截止日期是1月10日，与MS候选人的截止日期相同。申请卡罗尔管理研究生院的截止日期是1月2日。
Transcript:
University/college transcripts are required from all previous post-secondary education institutions attended. Unofficial transcripts may be submitted through the online application form for review purposes during the application process, but official copies of all transcripts reviewed for admission must be submitted upon acceptance/matriculation and no later than June 15. Transcripts are required to complete your application, whether submitted electronically or sent in hard copy. Hard copy official transcripts must be submitted to the office address noted at the top of this page or received from official academic sources (i.e. school registrars) in signed/sealed envelopes from each institution. Certified copies are acceptable, plain photocopies are not. One copy of each transcript is sufficient. Official transcripts submitted via document management services such as Scrip-Safe may be sent to gsasinfo@bc.edu. If you have previously attended BC you must request complete transcripts of your work from the Office of Student Services. All documents in languages other than English, should include a certified English translation in addition to the original language document.
Students who file applications prior to the completion of their undergraduate work are expected to file a final transcript showing all coursework, degree granted, and the date the degree will be awarded. The same procedure is required of applicants currently engaged in graduate study at other institutions. This is necessary for final confirmation of the Graduate School's offer of admission. Your final transcript should be sent to us as soon as you have completed your present course of study.
International students please note: Only official copies of your transcript will fulfill the language proficiency requirement on your application. Visit the International Applicants page for more information.
