Graduate Studies in Hydrogeology
at the University of Kentucky
The M.S. degree in Geology requires at least 24 hours of regular coursework
(including at least 16 in GLY courses, at least 12 of which must be at
the 600 or 700 level). Ph.D. students with an M.S. degree must complete
at least 18 hours of regular coursework. Hydrogeology students typically
take GLY 530 (Low-Temperature Geochemistry) and GLY 585 (Hydrogeology)
as part of their coursework in geology. Other relevant graduate courses
in geology include:
-
GLY 560 (Geophysical Field Methods)
-
GLY 610 (Topics in Hydrogeology and Surficial Processes)
-
GLY 625 (Topics in Applied Geophysics and Engineering Geology)
-
GLY 645 (Topics in Petrology and Geochemistry)
-
GLY 741 (Clay Mineralogy)
-
GLY 745 (Seminar in Petrology and Geochemistry)
Relevant

*(courses
in the Environmental Systems graduate certificate program)
Students with degrees in geology and related fields (e.g., biology, chemistry,
engineering, and agriculture) are encouraged to apply for graduate study.
Successful applicants typically have completed at least two semesters each
of calculus, chemistry, and physics (although up to two of these courses
can be made up as deficiencies during graduate study) and the equivalent
of a minor in geology.
