MSAG `20—expected
Advance your career with a master’s
degree in applied geosciences
Whether you’re an experienced geoscientist or are preparing to enter the field, Penn’s rigorous
Master of Science in Applied Geosciences (MSAG) is a highly practical program that helps you take
your next step. With a faculty of leading experts and courses designed to accelerate professional licensure,
we know what you need to move forward in your career.
During his first year of the program, Mike Sharer (MSAG `20—expected) landed a full-time position as an
environmental scientist at an engineering company. “The flexibility of being able to take classes at night has
been huge. It allows me and other students who are working to apply what we learn in class on the job, and
bring insights from the field into the classroom,” Mike says. He also appreciates that MSAG professors have
industry experience and understand the challenges of balancing school with the unpredictable hours of
fieldwork. “They go out of their way to help you succeed. It’s an incredible environment to be in,” Mike says.
