A thesis is required for the MS degree and a dissertation for the PhD. The Geochemistry Program comprises a core group of courses, required of all students, unless individually exempted by the "Committee of the Whole" based on previous background. The core courses are:

CHGC 503 - Introduction to Geochemistry, and
CHGC 504 - Methods in Geochemistry (plus a one-hour laboratory course selected from several available)

In addition, MS degree students must take two courses selected from the following list:

CHGC 509 - Introduction to Aqueous Geochemistry
CHGN 503 - Advanced Physical Chemistry
GEOL 512 - Mineralogy and Crystal Chemistry
CHGC 610 - Nuclear and Isotopic Geochemistry

PhD students must take CHGC 503, CHGN 503, CHGC 504, the one-hour laboratory course, and two courses from the above list.

CHGC 503 - Introduction to Geochemistry
CHGN 503 - Advanced Physical Chemistry
CHGC 504 - Methods in Geochemistry
CHGC 509 - Introduction to Aqueous Geochemistry
CHGC 511 - Geochemistry of Igneous Rocks
