Sun Jan 2 13:04:10 UTC 2022

Happy New Year from sunny Miami!

My name is Dr. Josh Coco and I am the Assistant Dean at the University of
Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The Master of
Professional Science apps at the University of Miami is also now open for
Fall 2022 in 14 different tracks. You can apply for both Ph.D./MS and MPS
(more info below) within the Ph.D./MS applications (no extra cost to apply
for both).

Our *Master of Professional Science 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, NPS,
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. *We are also waiving the GRE for Fall 2022 and
beyond* (tuition
waivers offered based on GPA only). The 14 different tracks are below:

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-based waivers) 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. This is for the Master
of Professional Science Degree.
