Program Description:

The Department of Geology offers traditional M.A. (non-thesis), M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Students interested in paleontology also may participate in the interdisciplinary graduate programs in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. In addition, we are a participating department in UB's NSF-IGERT program focusing on GIS for PhD students who will integrate geospatial information into their dissertation research.

The Department of Geology offers an advanced, graduate certificate program in Professional Science Management . The Professional Science Management (PSM) certificate is designed to allow students to pursue advanced training in science without a Ph.D., while simultaneously developing highly-valued business skills without an MBA. The PSM is best suited for students who seek science careers in business, government or non-profit organizations.
