CEDAR email: Applied Space Weather Master's Degree Program at Catholic University

[Robert Robinson]

The Department of Physics at Catholic University of America (CUA) is
currently accepting applications for its two-year graduate program offering
a Master’s Degree in Applied Space Weather Research.  Course offerings for
the degree cover both the fundamental physics of the Sun-Earth system and
the technical aspects of infrastructure impacted by conditions in the space
environment.  Course instruction includes lectures by space weather experts
at CUA and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, with laboratory exercises
making use of the CUA Department of Physics Space Weather Center, which
allows students to access space weather data and models in a real-world
setting.



Although the importance of space weather and the potential hazards to
technical systems and human health continues to grow, universities have yet
to fully accommodate the multi-disciplinary knowledge that will provide the
foundation for a space-ready society of the future.  The CUA Applied Space
Weather Research Program addresses the increasing need for expertise in
space weather in the commercial sector, government, and academia.



CUA is accepting applications for the Fall 2019 semester.  Information
about the program can be found at
