Transcript: You must submit one transcript from each post-secondary institution attended, regardless of whether or not a degree was earned or the credits are reflected on a separate transcript as transfer credit. If documents are not in English, also provide a certified English translation of each document. Translations certified by the degree granting university are considered official. Third party translations are not considered official. Failure to provide all academic documents will result in delays in processing your application materials. Please upload copies of academic transcripts (and diploma/degree certification, if applicable) with your application. If you have previously attended or are currently attending Ohio University, you must indicate this on your applciation. Your OHIO transcripts will be obtained by the Graduate College on your behalf. Personal Statement: Letter of Intent: Applicants are required to write one- to three-page letter giving a brief summary of their background and why they are interested in geology and a master's thesis. (Err on the longer side.) Ideally, the letter writer will tell faculty what areas of geology the applicant finds most interesting. But the letter must specify one or more professors with whom the applicant would work and what the applicant finds interesting about the professor's research. Recommendation Letter: Personal References: Three personal references are needed. They can be former employers, instructors, advisors, or persons otherwise having had a professional or academic experience with you. Financial Support Form: Submiting a Financial Support Form with the application is not required, but it is recommended. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services require that Ohio University establish that students have sufficient funds for the first year of study before a Form I-20 or DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility can be issued. Having a complete Financial Support Form on file at the point you are admitted will speed up processing of your Certificate of Eligibility.

学位要求：Bachelor 专业要求：Geology, environmental geology, earth sciences, or closely related degree 课程要求：Recommended Coursework a. Applicants generally are expected to have completed the equivalent of a year of chemistry and physics prior to enrolling. b. Applicants generally are expected to have successfully completed an integral calculus course. c. Applicants should have completed coursework in mineralogy, petrology, sedimentology-stratigraphy, structural geology, geomorphology, paleontology, and field methods/camp. However, the requirements differ for students seeking a geology versus an environmental geology degree with hydrology and geochemistry courses substituting for one or more of the listed courses. 申请链接：https://www.ohio.edu/cas/geology/grad/admissions.cfm 招生电话：740‐593‐2800 招生邮箱：graduate@ohio.edu
