Situated in a small, thriving city within urbanized northeast Ohio, Kent State University has ready access to a variety of research environments: large cities, small towns, agricultural regions, the Great Lakes and the Appalachian highlands and other environmentallysensitive areas. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Kent State University operates on a semester system. Undergraduate: KSU will accept either ACT or SAT scores. All candidates for the B.A. degree must complete the University Liberal Education Requirements, including course work in one foreign language. The geography major requires a minimum of 44 semester hours. These hours consist of 26 hours of core geography courses and at least 18 hours which may be selected from one of the following concentrations in Social Geography, Environmental Geography, and Geographical Information Sciences. Interdisciplinary minor and certificate programs in Geographic Information Science, Urban Studies and Planning, and Climatology are offered through the Department. Internships in these programs are available. Both a Geography Club and Gamma Theta Upsilon are active. Graduate: All applicants for admission to the graduate programs must meet the requirements of the Graduate College and satisfy the graduate faculty of the Department that they have the capability of pursuing graduate level studies. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent is required for regular admission (a 3.3 undergraduate GPA and a 3.5 graduate GPA is strongly encouraged). Applicants are normally expected to have the equivalent of a Geography minor, 24 credit hours (for M.A. program), or M.A. in Geography (for Ph.D. program). Deficiencies may be made up after admission. Applicants to the Ph.D. program should have completed a thesis. A minimum of thirty (30) hours of credit are required for the M.A. degree, and thirty-two for the M.G.I.S. degree. Sixty semester hours beyond the Masters degree are required for the Ph.D., with thirty of these credits assigned to the dissertation. Applications are especially encouraged from qualified students representing all minority groups, the physically disabled, and women. Andrew Curtis, Ph.
