Earth and Planetary Science
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at University of California, Berkeley offers a PhD degree in Earth and Planetary Science. The central objective of the graduate program is to encourage creative thinking and develop the capacity for independent and original research.
Astronomy and Astrophysics
The Astronomy and Astrophysics MSc program offered at San Francisco State University provides a solid, in-depth background in theoretical and experimental physics.
Physics and Astronomy
The M.A. in Physics and Astronomy from Ohio University is an option reserved for special cases and usually involves substantial work in other fields. Candidates must follow an approved program filed with the Departmental Graduate Committee and submit a scholarly paper based on these studies for approval by at least two readers.
Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science
EAPS is a multidisciplinary department in the College of Science offering graduate research programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. The Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science programme is offered at the Purdue University.
Geological and Planetary Sciences
Students in the Geological and Planetary Sciences program at California Institute of Technology - Caltech study the earth and other planets to understand their origin, composition, and development, and to examine the effects of their resulting physical and chemical characteristics on the history of life, on the environment, and on humanity.
Physics and Astronomy
The Physics and Astronomy programme of Rutgers University is part of the School of Graduate Studies, The State University of New Jersey. The School provides a diverse, dynamic, and creative community dedicated to preparing students for meaningful lives and advancing knowledge that improves the world.
Astrophysical Sciences and Technology
The Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program of Rochester Institute of Technology explores the depths of the universe through multidisciplinary research as you dive into an area that most interests you, whether it be general relativity, theoretical astrophysics, observational or instrumentation development, or another area related to astrophysics.
Space Engineering
The Space Engineering is a one-year program at California Institute of Technology - Caltech that provides advanced training in the areas of aeronautics or space engineering beyond that covered in a four year undergraduate program.
Master of Applied Geospatial Information
The Master of Applied Geospatial Information Systems and Technologies (MAGIST) degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a fully online professional STEM graduate degree program focused on training students to solve problems using GIS and location data.

Space Operations
This Space Operations degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will offer advanced courses in space mission operations, spacecraft systems, human space flight, system safety, human factors, statistical analysis, research methodology, and programme management.
Physics (Space Physics)
New Mexico State University's Physics (Space Physics) Master of Science program is dedicated to preparing scientists for careers in the field of space physics and astrophysics.
Astrophysics and Astronomy
The Astrophysics and Astronomy MSc program offered at Arizona State University prepares you for discovering new planets, exploring cosmology, and building space-flight hardware and instruments for telescopes and satellites.
Space Science
Space Science from University of Alabama Huntsville provides opportunities through our graduate program for students to be introduced to and engage in cutting edge research in solar physics, heliospheric science, cosmic ray physics, and high-energy astrophysics with faculty from the Department of Space Science and with our research partners
Space Architecture
The Space Architecture program at University of Houston represents an interdisciplinary field that involves the planning and design of facilities in extreme environments on earth and in space, including ocean facilities, polar research stations, human disaster accommodations and orbiting space stations.
Space Studies
Prepare for a career in space with a broad-based approach that links engineering, science and policy with the Space Studies program from University of North Dakota.
Astronomy
The Astronomy program of Wesleyan University offers one of the country’s only stand-alone Master of Arts programs in astronomy. Designed for flexibility and merging coursework with research, the MA prepares graduates for PhD programs, careers in data science, education, public outreach, and more.
Physics and Astronomy
We offer several types of master's degrees as well: the Physics, MA/MS/MPhil/PhD, and the Physics and Astronomy Teaching MS. We admit students into our program as master's degree candidates only for the first two M.S. degrees. The role of the Master's in Physics at the University of Utah is to provide either a milestone or an alternative to the Ph.D. for predoctoral students.
Physics and Astronomy
The Physics and Astronomy department at Rice University admits graduate students into the doctoral program. It is not the intent to admit students who only wish to pursue a masters degree.
Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences
The Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences Program at Rice University is intended for students pursuing employment in industry after graduation and comprises coursework in the core science, business practice, communication skills, policy and ethics.
Space Resources
Want to learn how to identify, extract, and utilize resources beyond our planet? Join the Space Resources program of Colorado School of Mines. With the world’s first Space Resources graduate program, Mines prepares scientists, engineers, economists, entrepreneurs and policymakers to set the stage for a new era in space exploration and economic development.
