Please sign up for the Virtual Open House. We will start at 2PM with an introduction from the Dean, tours throughout campus, and end with a Q&A with faculty and current students!

My name is Josh Coco and I’m the Executive Director at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami and we wanted to let you know that apps are open for our PhD (fully funded), Master of Science, and Master of Professional Science (MPS) degree for Spring and Fall 2021 (PhD/MS apps for Fall 2021 will open in early October). PhD Assistantships can be found here: https://graduate.rsmas.miami.edu/admissions/phd-assistanships/index.html. The majority of Ph.D. students are supported as Graduate Research Assistants during their tenure (typically 5 years). These assistantshipsprovide an annual salary of $30,312, and tuition and health insurance are provided for all students. Fall 2021 applications received prior to January 1, 2021 will be reviewed. In order to increase the chance of an assistantship, applications are encouraged by December 1, 2020. There will be many more added over the course of the Fall semester (check back weekly), so please contact faculty and also know some assistantships are not listed and faculty do choose based off the applications the school receives. GRE is still currently required for PhD/MS application, but this may be waived in the near future (currently being reviewed by faculty) so please check the website or reach out to me with questions.

Our MPS degree (take the same courses as Ph.D. and MS students, but instead of a thesis/dissertation, you do an internship/research in the field with organizations such as NOAA, National Parks Service, NGOs, etc. and 94% of students have a job in the field 6 months after graduation) has rolling admission until June for international students and July for domestic. You can also haveyour application reviewed for no extra cost by checking the box for MPS on the PhD/MS application (allowing you to have multiple options for only 1app fee). We are also waiving the GRE for Spring and Fall 2021 for MPS (tuition waivers will be based on GPA and GPA/GRE if GRE helps you). I have listed all 14 tracks below:

In an effort to support the University's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Rosenstiel School’s Master of Professional Science is offering 4 Rosenstiel Opportunity Scholarships of 24-credits each (allowing a student to earn the last 6 credits through merit basedwaivers) by providing scholarships for high achieving students from historically underserved or underrepresented populations and/or socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are entering graduate school at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. These scholarships will be given out in March of 2021 for Fall 2021 start.

If you are interestedin both PhD/MS and MPS, you can check the box to also apply for the MPS within the PhD or MS application and we will review your application for no extra cost (so you are reviewed for multiple programs for only 1 application fee). Any questions, please ask! I'm more than willing to facetime,Skype, Zoom, Text (561-460-1019), or just chat on the phone to help you, clubs/organizations, classes, etc! Excited to chat with you about the programs here in Miami!!!
