Info

master’s student takes at least two organized courses from different faculty during the first year of study, and demonstrates mastery of a foreign language or method prior to receiving the degree. Master’s theses usually involve fieldwork, often in foreign countries. A report option is also available for special situations. A doctoral student crafts a personal program of work with help from a faculty supervisor and dissertation committee, selected by the end of the second semester. Doctoral students take at least three organized courses from different departmental faculty. Mastery of an appropriate method and foreign language, proficiency in two areas of specialization in geography, and passing qualifying examinations admits the student to candidacy. Research and writing of the dissertation culminates in an oral defense. Graduate Admission Requirements: Students in all disciplines and backgrounds, whose goals are related to faculty interests, are encouraged to apply; a background in geography is not required. Admission is very selective, and is based on careful analysis of the entire application dossier. Personal essay, letters of recommendation, and suitability of previous training and experience for the proposed topic of graduate study are very important. GRE scores and grade point averages are examined, but no single factor guarantees or precludes admission. A personal visit and interview with prospective supervisor is recommended but not required; all applicants should contact relevant faculty members to discuss their goals before applying. All application materials must be submitted by 1 January. Graduate Financial Aid: The department offers multiple Teaching and Research Assistantships and Fellowships each academic year. Most fellowships and assistantships include rebates to help pay for tuition, and some include extra stipends for travel. The Department also offers several summer teaching assistantships, and several research assistantships. The Department and Graduate School offer travel grants for research and attendance at professional meetings. Many students receive funding through University institutes or area studies programs, and from external sources. FACULTY: Paul C.
