The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is part of the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, although the academic life of graduate students is largely guided by the rules of The Graduate School (TGS), which is the administrative unit for most graduate programs at Northwestern. Students should become familiar with The Graduate School requirements (links below), as well as specific departmental requirements.
