Master of Science [M.S] (Geology)
Field of Study:
₹17.8 L/Yr
A cooperative program in quaternary sciences exists with the collaboration of faculty in the Quaternary Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute. Both regional and international research programs are available. Field-related studies and research are among the strengths of our programs. The University of Nevada, Reno is located near the boundary between the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada physiographic provinces, and is near many world-class localities for field studies, ranging from glaciated high country to high desert environments. Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, Great Basin, and Lassen Volcanic national parks are all within easy reach of Reno.
