California Institute Of Technology Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences Geochemistry and Geology Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies, 02 Parsons-Gates Pasadena, CA 91126 US   Phone: 1-626-395-6346 Fax: 1-626-577-9246   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral Ph.D. On Campus   Research in this division at Caltech ranges from the earth's core, mantle, and crust, to the outposts of thesolar system. Institute geophysicists have been leaders for over 50 years in earthquake studies, and havedeveloped a computerized network of 250 seismograph stations. Using seismic tomography, they scan theearth's interior and study mantle convection. Other faculty members have determined the first reliable valuesof the age of the earth, moon, and meteorites; worked out the geological history of western North America;deciphered the record of the earth's climate from studies of tree rings and glaciers; perfected isotopic tracersand high-pressure laboratory techniques that indicate how magmas form on the earth and moon; showed thatsurface waters penetrate deep into the crust and extensively interact with magma bodies; and, usingtheoretical studies and data from spacecraft missions, have been greatly responsible for our presentunderstanding of the origin of planetary surfaces and atmospheres, satellites, rings, comets, asteroids, andthe interplanetary plasma.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1222  # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $28515  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
