Prospective Students

Graduate Degrees and the LTRR

Graduate students working in the LTRR come from departments all over campus that align with their research interests.  It is important to note that the LTRR itself doesn't grant degrees, but rather students earn their degrees through one of the degree-granting academic departments at the University of Arizona, The LTRR does offer a Graduate Certificate in Dendrochronology, which can be earned independently of or in conjunction with the pursuit of a graduate degree (see http://ltrr.arizona.edu/certificate for details). Prospective and current students can choose a relationship with the LTRR which best fits their interests and current opportunities. Some options include:

  • Your work, funding, and advisor are in the LTRR.
  • Your advisor and/or funding come from a department, but you do tree-ring research.
  • You are a visiting graduate student (see Visiting Scholar Program)
  • Other types of relationships are possible!
