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 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.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees If you have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting association, you are eligible to apply for admission to NAU as a graduate student.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes 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: 1998  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 3722  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $653  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $13862  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
