The Department of Geology offers a strong Masters program in a region with unique opportunities for geologic studies. Located in Flagstaff, Arizona, Northern Arizona University lies in the unparalleled setting of the southern Colorado Plateau near the San Francisco Peaks, Grand Canyon, and red rocks of Sedona. The region provides alpine skiing, and year-round hiking, biking, and climbing. Flagstaff is the home of the Museum of Northern Arizona and a U.S. Geological Survey office. Located within two hours drive of Flagstaff are superb rocks and deposits ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary. Research problems abound involving sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, surficial deposits, and water resources. Active and funded research programs also address problems outside Arizona, including studies in Alaska, Argentina, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and Turkey. All applicants are automatically considered for Graduate Assistantships. We typically offer 8-10 Graduate Assistantships to incoming graduate students each year. In addition, faculty who have interest in specific applicants may offer funding from grants to support Research Assistantships and/or other research costs. Our short list will be reviewed by representatives from the U.S. Geological Survey Flagstaff Field Center, who may extend offers of summer employment, or offer to support thesis research by providing research appointments and covering research expenses. We also encourage and assist graduate students with their own applications for scholarships and grants.
