The general background expected of incoming graduate students includes: Undergraduate courses in calculus, differential equations, and computer programming. One year sequences of undergraduate physics (calculus based) and chemistry. Upper-level undergraduate courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics are strongly recommended. Research and computer programming experience is also strongly recommended. Undergraduate courses in atmospheric science or oceanography are useful but not required as part of the undergraduate background.

Bachelor

Students with undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, mathematics) and engineering are encouraged to apply. Students with undergraduate degrees in other fields such as biology, environmental science, geography, or geology, are also invited to apply provided they meet the standards

Estimates are based on annual university-billed costs for one academic year (two semesters, fall and spring). University-billed costs include: tuition, fees and on-campus housing. Books and supplies purchased at the CU Book Store can be charged to the tuition and fee bill as well.
