Coterminal ProgramThe Stanford coterminal MS degree enables an undergraduate to embark on an integrated program of study leading to the master's degree before requirements for the bachelor's degree have been completed. The master's degree in Earth Systems provides the student with enhanced tools to evaluate the primary literature of the discipline most closely associated with the student's track, and it allows an increased specialization through additional course work that may include nine credits of thesis research. Integration of earth systems concepts is furthered by participation in the Master's Seminar. How to apply*:
*Please note that a $50 application fee is assessed by the Registrar's Office for coterminal applications. Students may be admitted as early as their eighth quarter at
Stanford, or after earning 105 units, but no later than their
eleventh quarter. Students may either 1) complete 180 units required
for the BS degree and then complete the three quarters required
for the MS. degree, or 2) complete a total of 15 quarters during
which the requirements of the degrees are fulfilled concurrently.
The student has the option of receiving the BS degree upon
completion of that degree's requirements, or of receiving two
degrees concurrently at the end of the master's program.
**Students applying from an undergraduate major other than Earth Systems or students applying to do a coterminal MS in Environmental Earth System Science should see Julie Kennedy or Deana Fabbro-Johnston for clarification. The coterminal curriculum must consist of a minimum of 45 units of course work and or/thesis research, at least 22 of which must be at the 200-level or above. With the faculty advisors approval, nine of these 22 units may be in the form of directed research (EARTHSYS 250).
