The Master's Program in Geography is designed to enable the student to achieve professional competence in the discipline. This program is intended to increase substantive and technical proficiency and is offered as either research-based (with thesis) or course-based (without thesis).
All Plan A (with thesis) students seeking the master's degree in geography are expected to have completed courses in physical, human, and regional geography; in quantitative methods; and in geographic information science. Applicants who have not completed all of these requirements must work with their guidance committee to determine which, if any, deficiencies need to be remedied. Any course work completed to correct course deficiencies must be approved by the guidance committee and may not be counted towards the 30-credit requirement for the degree.
Additional information about the requirements may be found in the Academic Programs Catalog on the Office of the Registrar website.
The graduate handbook provides an overview of the graduate program in Geography as well as the requirements for the degree.
