Geology Graduate Student Onboarding

Catalog description

Courses designed for new graduate students can build student self-efficacy, and promote equity and inclusion by helping all students develop the skills needed to succeed in graduate school. The curriculum in graduate school can be thought of as an iceberg. Much of graduate education is focused on tangible and formal skill development surrounding research and teaching. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. This course focuses on the informal “hidden curriculum” in graduate school that can complement formal student learning to help individuals lead successful graduate careers. Prerequisite: admission to a graduate program in the Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science.
