Internet: http://www.auburn.edu/academic/cosam/departments/geosciences/ind ex.htm PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department of Geosciences at Auburn University offers both graduate and undergraduate majors in Geography the opportunity to join faculty in their research in geospatial analysis, human geography, environmental management, hazards, geomorphology, water resources, biogeography, and climatology. Graduate study will place a special emphasis upon applied research as it relates to these sub-disciplines. Supplementing coursework is the department’s map collection and a geographic information systems laboratory. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Admission to the undergraduate major program in Geography is the same as that for admission to the College of Sciences and Mathematics. In addition to the University Core Curriculum requirements, undergraduate majors are expected to take Physical Geography, Cultural Geography, Cartography, Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems. Fifteen additional hours of geography, two semesters of a foreign language and a statistics course are also required for the major. Undergraduate majors are eligible for earning credit through internal and external internship programs. Exceptional undergraduate students are encouraged to apply for the Accelerated BA/MS program in Geography which allows both degrees to be earned in a total of five years. Admission to the graduate program in Geography requires admission to the Auburn University Graduate School as well as the completion of a Bachelors degree in Geography or related field, a minimum undergraduate G.P.A. of 3.0, letters of support, and an acceptable GRE score. Both thesis and non-thesis degree options are available. In both cases, students are required to take courses in Geographic Thought and Quantitative Methods and Spatial Analysis. Students choosing the thesis option will work in consultation with faculty to craft a program of study reflecting their research interests that includes at least 18 additional graduate hours of coursework and a thesis research project (6 credit hours). Students who follow the non-thesis option will complete a customized program of study that includes a minimum of 33 additional credit hours as well as successfully complete written and oral comprehensive examinations. Graduate applicants are eligible to apply for a graduate teaching or research assistantship that includes a tuition waiver and stipend.

Telephone (205) 348-5047. Fax (205) 348-2278. E-mail: hart013@bama.ua.edu. Internet: www.as.ua.edu/geography. PROGRAMS: The curricula supporting the B.A. and B.S. degrees in Geography and Environmental Scienc and the M.S. degree in Geography are designed to prepare students in the fields of applied geography, biogeography, climatology, geomorphology, geospatial analysis, human-environment interactions, and planning. The B.S. in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program that requires coursework in geography and other natural sciences. The graduate program emphasizes a thesis-oriented approach to develop theoretical and methodological expertise and allows students to concentrate in human or physical geography with a broad range of options within each. RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department is located in a 30,000 square foot facility near the center of campus. The Department operates the Earth Surface Dynamics Laboratory, which is well 1
equipped for field investigations and laboratory analyses pertaining to geomorphology, soils, and watershed science. The Forest Dynamics Laboratory supports study of forest development and successional patterns, forest ecosystem ecology, and ecological plant geography. The physical lab comprises four rooms each devoted to specific tasks and the lab is well equipped for projects in forest research and dendrochronology. The UA Library System includes six separate libraries and the university is a member of the Association of Research Libraries. The collections include over two million books, journals, and microforms, and receives more than 16,000 periodicals, serials, and newspapers. Geospatial Information Services within the Department include the GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory, Cartographic Research Laboratory, and the University Map Library. The GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory maintains a state-of-the-art facility for GIS data input, database management, spatial analysis and manipulation, and information output, as well as digital image processing of remotely sensed data. The Cartographic Research Laboratory is designed to operate in an instructional and production environment. The University Map Library, managed by the Department, contains over 350,000 maps and 75,000 aerial photographs. In addition to providing public reference service, the Map Library functions as a research unit. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: The graduate academic program requires the completion of 30 to 39 graduate semester hours with at least twothirds being courses numbered 500 or above. Six to nine hours of electives in related fields are allowed with departmental approval. The Certificate in Regional and Urban Planning, an option, includes courses in Public Administration, Economics, and Geography and may be attached to a graduate degree in Geography. The program is open to qualified students with either an undergraduate major in geography or a major acceptable to the Department. A combined score of at least 300 on verbal and quantitative portions of the GRE and an undergraduate B average are required for unconditional admission. Fellowships, teaching and research assistantships ranging from $14,000 to $15,000 for the academic year are regularly granted on a competitive basis. Two cartographic assistantships are available in the Cartographic Research and GIS Research Labs. Most assistantships include tuition waivers and health insurance.
