The graduate program of the Department of Geography offers both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The program’s basic purpose is to train scholars and professionals to produce and disseminate knowledge and to make outstanding contributions in the public and private sectors.
There are approximately 80-90 graduate students in the program. The M.A. program was founded in 1930 and the Ph.D. program began in 1965. The first Ph.D. was awarded in 1968. The Department is ranked as one of the top programs among the nation’s doctoral-granting departments of geography. It also attracts some 3,500 undergraduates to its courses every year, and has approximately 200 undergraduate majors in Geography.
Prospective students should have interests coincident with those of the faculty and strong preparation in the natural or social sciences, but not necessarily in geography. Prospective students may want to check the titles of recent theses and dissertations as well as information about current grad students.
