Advance your career with an online

master’s degree in applied geosciences

Penn’s rigorous Master of Science in Applied Geosciences is a highly practical online 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), an environmental scientist at an engineering
company, earned his degree while working full-time. “The flexibility of being able to take classes at night
was huge. It allowed 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 said. He also appreciated that 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 said.
