The Graduate Program in Land and Atmospheric Science (LAAS) is an interdisciplinary science program focused on the fundamentals of the Earth-atmosphere system. Masters (MS) and Doctorate (PhD) degree options are offered. Our program has no formal tracks or emphasis areas, but instead allows students to design a curriculum that addresses their interests within the scope of the program.
