GeoApplicant

Thank you! Btw, would changing advisor be feasible and, even, convenient in US university? ( I probably go to TU and try to move to Sedimentation). I guess you may get more ideas on it.

Thank you for your advise ! Interested in geology, though petro geology is more preferred. As far as you know, taking my advisors, the locations of these two school, and whatever important factors into consideration, which one could provide a better chance to get internships between these schools? Aside from jobs in petroleum field, would graduate students in these areas stand a decent chance to find jobs (if they are academic qualified and initiative enough) in GENERAL geology ? Plus, do you know IPG in UA? I didn't find coops provided in the intro of it in UA' websites. Do you know a little bit about it?

If don't take financial issues into consideration, then what's the situation?

I've been admitted by LSU and Tulsa. Both are MS program in Geology, without fundings. Both are strong in PE, but how about in Geology? I especially care about the opportunities to find jobs (as an international students). Do graduates stand chance to get employed in oil industry? Or whatever jobs in geology? LSU: my advisor is major in Tectonics. It seems have more to do with fundamental research. Tulsa: my advisor is major in igneous rock. I am not very familiar with it since my undergraduate courses are very general in earth sciences. P.S. I also applied for "Integrated Petroleum Geosciences" in U of Alberta. Decisions are still unavailable. If I am admitted, is it worth to go? It's a one year course-based program. I can't recon lots of information about it. I found that U Calgary has a two year course-based program in reservoir characterization, thus I doubt if Alberta's one-year program is strong. Anyway, is there anyone know something about IPG in Alberta?
