Course Overview
Qualifying for the M.A. : The Master of Arts (M.A.) degree is normally an incidental degree on the way to full Ph. D. candidacy and is earned after a student successfully completes all course work and passes the written portion of the general examination. It may also be awarded to students who, for various reasons, leave the Ph. D. program, provided that these requirements have been met. The AOS program benefits from the research capabilities of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is located on the Forrestal Campus. GFDL has a major in-house supercomputer facility to which students have direct access for their research. Many GFDL scientists are active in the AOS program as lecturers with the rank of assistant through full professor. The Department of Geosciences, with its activities in physical and chemical oceanography, paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, collaborates with GFDL in providing an academic program of courses and seminars. The highly flexible graduate program offers students opportunities for research and courses in a wide variety of disciplines related to climate, atmospheric sciences and oceanography, including geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemistry of the land and ocean, atmospheric modeling, ocean modeling, climate dynamics, global climate change and paleo-climate. Through the Science, Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) Program at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Princeton Environmental Institute, students can explore climate- [and air pollution-] related policy.
