Geophysics and Seismology certificate programs

The Graduate Certificate in Petroleum Geoscience is an interdisciplinary program in the Geology and Geophysics designed to enhance both critical thinking and the technical skills that serve as the scientific foundation for practicing petroleum geoscience. The program requires a minimum of 18 semester credit hours from Geology and Geophysics and optionally Petroleum Engineering as part of a regular graduate program. In addition, workshops, lectures and field trips enable students to learn pressing scientific problems in petroleum exploration and production. Students are required to take a core of courses including reflection seismology and seismic interpretation, sequence stratigraphy and basin analysis, 3-D structure and rock properties. One seminar per year is required. In addition, students must choose at least one course from an approved list of supporting courses in both the Geology and Geophysics and Petroleum Engineering. The Certificate is conferred upon successful completion of a MS or PhD degree program in Geology or Geophysics including the required courses.

The geophysics graduate certificate offers a coherent curriculum in geophysics that can complement and supplement a student regular degree program and encourages multi-disciplinary education in the area of geophysics. The geophysics certificate program allows students to obtain recognition for their accomplishments in geophysics without having to switch into the geophysics degree program. Geophysics and Seismology program was approved by the CU Boulder Graduate School in spring 2002. A student wishing to be considered for a certificate in geophysics must first be admitted as a graduate student into one of the participating graduate departments (ASEN, APS, CEAE, ECEN, GEOG, GEOL, MCEN, PHYS). Students from outside the participating departments can for entry to the geophysics certificate program by submitting a letter addressed to the Geophysics Graduate Program Committee. Upon request from a student, the program director and the student advisor will determine whether a student has met the requirements for the certificate and will generate a letter to the appropriate department head and dean.
