Applications are due January 1, 2022, and information about applying to our program is online at https://www.unr.edu/geology/graduate/admissions-information; note that we do not require submission of a GRE score. We encourage prospective students to contact potential advisers to discuss more details of the project before the application deadline (and we’ve included some tips for sending these e-mails (https://www.unr.edu/geology/graduate/admissions-information/contacting-department-faculty) on our website). We only admit students that have a faculty member that is committed to advising the student and funding their research so it is important to reach out to faculty members to ensure they have funding available. Prospective students are also welcome to contact our Graduate Director, Prof. Stacia Gordon (DGSEgraddirector@unr.edu), with more general questions about the program.
Our department seeks to foster an environment where our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members at large feel valued and welcome within the department regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, nationality, veteran status, socio-economic status, political beliefs, physical or cognitive ability, and age. We have a strong Code of Conduct (https://www.unr.edu/geology/code-of-conduct) that outlines the professional behavior expected of all members of our department community, and we regularly report on our ongoing efforts to increase equity, diversity, and justice (https://www.unr.edu/geology/commitment-to-diversity/goals-and-updates).
