Internet: http://hs.umt.edu/geography/ PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department of Geography offers baccalaureate and graduate degrees with or without options, focusing on Mountain Environments, Community and Environmental Planning, and Geospatial Technologies and Perspectives/GIS. The Bachelor of Arts program is designed to provide students with an integrative, liberal-arts education, while the Bachelor of Sciences offers a stronger footing in mathematics and sciences (STEM). The B.A. is offered with option in Community and Environmental Planning, and the B.S. can be pursued with option in Physical Geography We also offer an interdisciplinary Certificate in GIS Sciences and Technologies and house an undergraduate Minor in Mountain Studies. The minor takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of mountain geography and human-mountain relations, drawing on courses in geography, geosciences, biology, forestry, and recreation management. Additionally, the Department of Geography contributes to two interdisciplinary minors: the Minor in Climate Change Studies, and the Minor in International Development Studies. Pursuit of a Geography major in combination with a minor in an allied field has become increasingly common. Students majoring in secondary education may elect geography as a major or minor area of endorsement. The Master of Arts is offered without option (general geography) and the Master of Science is offered without option, with option in Cartography and GIS, and with option in Community and Environmental Planning. Geography graduate program with or without options give students the opportunity to pursue one of the following tracks: a thesis track, a professional paper track, or a nonthesis (exam and portfolio) track. The choice of tracks offers graduate students much flexibility in matching their graduate education with their career goals. Credits vary by option and track, typically requiring a commitment of two years. Interdepartmental collaboration and research based upon field work are encouraged. Further information can be found at the department’s website: http://hs.umt.edu/geography/. Geography's Geospatial Research and Teaching (GReaT) Laboratories are comprised of a 24-seat teaching classroom and a 15-seat studentuse lab. A comprehensive selection of GIS software is available, including ArcGIS, ENVI, Erdas, Idrisi, PCIGeomatica, TransCAD, GeoDa, Feature Analyst, LiDAR Analyst, Sketchup Pro, MapViewer, Surfer, Grapher, and Trimble products. Additional software includes SPSS, R, NVIVO, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft products, and more. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND FINANCIAL AID: The University of Montana operates on a semester system, with two sixteen-week semesters; a three-week winter session in January; two five-week and one ten-week summer sessions; as well as specialized short-course sessions. Prospective undergraduate students should consult The University of Montana 2016-2017 Catalog or contact Admissions and New Student Services at http://admissions.umt.edu/, for information regarding admission requirements. Graduate applications must be accompanied by official transcripts, three letters of recommendation, official GRE or TOEFL scores, and a letter of intent, explaining why an applicant wishes to pursue a graduate degree in Geography and why in our department. Completed applications must be received by March 1 st for Fall Semester Admission and TA consideration. To be considered for a teaching assistantship, applications must include a letter stating interest in and describing qualifications for a TAship. Applications for admission may be considered after March 1 st based on available capacity. Information regarding the graduate application procedure is available on The University of Montana’s Graduate School website, http://www.umt.edu/grad/. The Department of Geography has several graduate teaching assistantships that carry a stipend and remission of tuition. The department is also allotted several part-time positions for undergraduate students through the university’s work-study program. Opportunities for employment related to faculty research or consulting projects are increasingly available.

Internet: http://snr.unl.edu/geographygis/index.asp PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Undergraduate: Students can earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Geography. The undergraduate program provides a broad liberal arts education in physical, human and regional geography combined with courses in Geographic Information Science (remote sensing and GIS), research skills and quantitative methods. The program prepares students for positions in government and industry, and also for graduate work in geography or related fields. Graduate: Graduate students can pursue either a MA or PhD in Geography. Students have considerable flexibility in designing programs tailored to their individual interests and career goals. Particularly strong programs exist in: (1) Geographic Information Science (remote sensing and GIS), capitalizing on the strengths and facilities of the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT) and National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC); (2) Historical and Human Geography. Continuing a long tradition of research in cultural and regional geography, students and faculty foci include historical settlement, land use change, environmental perception, Native American studies, Great Plains studies, population and settlement patterns and political behavior; (3) Natural Resources. Students can pursue interdisciplinary studies in geomorphology, conservation biology, water resources, natural hazards, climatology and related areas in conjunction with faculty of the School of Natural Resources; and, (4) Community and Regional Planning. Students may pursue a cross-disciplinary PhD combining strengths of Geography and the Department of Community and Regional Planning. Geography faculty and student offices are located in Hardin Hall, a modern research and classroom facility that also houses other units of the School of Natural Resources. The facility includes specialized laboratories and several nationally-recognized research centers including the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT), the High Plains Regional Climate Center (HPRCC) and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC). Students have access to state-of-the-art computing including image processing and GIS software such as ArcGIS, ERDAS Imagine and ENVI. Through CALMIT, UNL geographers have opportunities to use unique close-range remote sensing capabilities and an aircraft for supporting remote sensing research. Faculty and students in 110
