UMiami Fall 2022 Marine and Atmospheric PhD/MS/MPS Degrees

[University of Miami RSMAS]

Good morning,

 

My name is Dr. Josh Coco and I am the Assistant Dean at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. We wanted to let you know that apps for Ph.D. and MS apps will open on August 15th (expect 4-5x more listed over the next few months so keep checking back in): https://graduate.rsmas.miami.edu/admissions/phd-assistanships/index.html. The majority of Ph.D. students are supported as Graduate Research Assistants during their tenure (typically 5 years). These assistantships provide an annual salary of $30,312, and tuition and health insurance are provided for all students. The Master of Professional Science apps at the University of Miami is also now open for Fall 2022 in 14 different tracks. You can apply for both Ph.D./MS and MPS within the Ph.D./MS applications (no extra cost to apply for both).

 

Our Master of Professional Science degree (take the same courses as Ph.D. and MS students, but instead of a thesis/dissertation, you do an internship/research in the field with organizations such as NOAA, NPS, NGOs, etc. and 94% of students have a job in the field 6 months after graduation) has rolling admission until June for international students and July for domestic. We are also waiving the GRE for Fall 2022 and beyond (tuition waivers will be based on GPA only). MPS will not be accepting Spring 2022 apps. The 14 different tracks are below:

·      Applied Remote Sensing

·      Aquaculture 

·      Broadcast Meteorology

·      Climate and Society

·      Coastal Zone Management

·      Exploration Science 

·      Fisheries Management and Conservation 

·      JD/MPS

·      Marine Conservation 

·      Marine Mammal Science 

·      Natural Hazard and Catastrophe Analytics

·      Tropical Marine Ecosystem Management 

·      Underwater Archaeology 

·      Weather Forecasting

In an effort to support the University's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Rosenstiel School’s Master of Professional Science is offering 4 Rosenstiel Opportunity Scholarships of 24-credits each (allowing a student to earn the last 6 credits through merit-based waivers) by providing scholarships for high achieving students from historically underserved or underrepresented populations and/or socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are entering graduate school at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. 

Any questions, please ask! I'm more than willing to facetime, Skype, Zoom (https://calendly.com/joshcoco), Text (561-460-1019), or just chat on the phone to help you out. Excited to chat with you all about the programs!!!
