Masters

This program provides a one-year course of study that provides future professional geologists or engineers with the geological and engineering background they will need to analyze and solve engineering problems that involve geological variables and concepts. Individual programs are developed within two established options: geohydrology, environmental geophysics. This program can also be developed for students interested in energy studies, in consultation with appropriate members of the graduate field of geological sciences. This program is intended to extend and broaden this background to develop competence in four subject categories. Typical categories for the geohydrology option are porous media flow, geology, geochemistry and numerical modeling. Typical categories for the environmental geophysics option are geophysics, geology, and porous media fluid flow and computer methods.

  • Feminist, gender and sexuality studies
  • Environmental engineering
  • Fiber science and apparel design
  • Global and public health sciences
  • Government
  • Policy analysis and management
  • Urban and regional studies.

All students, including internationals, are required to sit the SATs (that is, even if they’ve taken A levels or the International Baccalaureate). To apply, you would also need to submit English proficiency test results. Aim to score at least 100 in the internet-based exam, or 600 in the paper based exam in your TOEFL or at least 7 in the IELTS.

Cornell University offers a wide range of interesting graduate fields of study, including:

  • Asian literature, religion and culture
  • Astronomy and space sciences
  • Film and video studies
  • Medieval studies
  • Operations research and information engineering
  • Peace studies and peace sciences.

At graduate level, cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, book and supplies and room and board, ranges between US$ 29,500 and US$ 102,652. That being said, 97% of PhD students at Cornell University living on-campus receive funding covering their tuition, fees, health insurance and a stipend from the university.
