Graduate Studies Committee

What is the Graduate Studies Committee

The Graduate Studies Committee (GSC) consists of faculty members who are active participants in the Jackson School of Geosciences graduate program at The University of Texas at Austin. The GSC recommends students for admission to the program, sets program-specific requirements for the graduate degrees in geosciences, and recommends students for admission to candidacy for degrees. The Graduate Adviser is the chairperson of the GSC. The GSC has a subcommittee: the Graduate Admission & Support Committee.
