ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: GRADUATE: Admissions (Ph.D.): Students are admitted to the University of California by the Graduate Division, on the recommendation of the Department. The prospective graduate student submits the Graduate Application for Admission and Fellowship online (obtain application electronically at: http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/admissions/grad_app.shtml). The following are submitted to the on-line application: statement of purpose; personal history essay; official transcript, with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least a B (3.0) in the last two years of college work; scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test; scores from an official TOEFL report (required of international applicants from countries whose official language is not English); and three letters of academic appraisal. Application deadline is December 1 for Admissions and Fellowships. Admission is for Fall only. The GRE should be taken in October prior to the application deadline. Ph.D. Degree Requirements: All students take GEOG 200A/B in their first year and register for at least 12 units per semester (primarily graduate seminars) for a minimum of two years before taking the Qualifying Examination and advancing to candidacy. By the end of the third year, students entering with a B.A. or B.S. only must hand in a paper that would be suitable for submission to an academic or scientific journal. All students must take the Qualifying Exam by the end of the third year, although it is recommended that students entering with an M.A. take it by the end of their second year. Before starting dissertation research, each student must have an approved Dissertation Prospectus. The Ph.D. dissertation is written by the student under the supervision of a committee of three members of the University faculty. Financial Aid: Outstanding applicants are nominated for University Fellowships of various kinds, which top candidates are normally offered. The department also offers financial support in the form of Graduate Student Instructorships and internal fellowships from Block Grants and endowments (the Carl Sauer, the Holway, Kenneth and Florence Oberholtzer, McCone, Brechin-Chlebowski and the Society of Woman Geographers). UNDERGRADUATE: Admission: The Berkeley campus is on a semester calendar, with the Fall semester beginning in late August. The application filing period for the Fall semester, for both freshman and transfer applicants, is the month of November; applications must be postmarked no later than November 30. The UC application for admission to the fall term is available in early October. You may submit an application electronically at: www.universityofcalifornia.edu/apply or you may print the form for mailing from the same site. Online completion of the application is encouraged. Degree Requirements: Geography majors must take three lower division courses, and at least eight upper division courses. Of the latter, there are two options: majors complete five courses in one specialty group and two in the other, plus one methodology course; or majors complete four courses in one specialty group and two in the other, plus two methodology courses. The two specialty areas are Earth System Science and Economy, Culture & Society. The Department offers a Minor that requires a minimum of five upper division courses. Students must maintain an overall grade point average of 2.0 for all courses taken for the minor. A minimum of three courses must be taken on the Berkeley campus. Students must take at least one course in the physical area and one course in the human area from amongst the courses listed in the range of 109-175. Students may select courses in the range of 181-188, but if so there are several that have limited enrollment and require permission of the instructor. FACULTY: Jeffrey Q.

Anne Visser FOR CATALOG AND FURTHER INFORMATION WRITE TO: Carrie Armstrong-Ruport, Geography Graduate Group, Department of Human Ecology, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, California, 95616. Telephone (530) 752-4119. E-mail: caruport@ucdavis.edu. Internet: http://geography.ucdavis.edu/. PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Graduate degrees in Geography are offered through the Graduate Group in Geography (hereafter GGG), which is an interdepartmental group with faculty from the Colleges of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, Letters and Science, and the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. With over 60 geography affiliated faculty members in 20 departments across campus, in terms of the number and diversity of affiliated faculty, we are among the nation's largest geography program. The graduate group structure emphasizes shared research interests amongst faculty and students, with the flexibility to grow and quickly change to reflect emerging areas of interdisciplinary knowledge and technology. The overall focus of the program is on the natural and built environment, building on the strengths of the campus faculty. Faculty interests in the GGG are diverse and attract students in such areas as biophysical geography and related natural science and engineering fields, as well as human geography and related social science fields. A number of faculty use and teach GIS, remote sensing, modeling, spatial analysis, and related geographical techniques, and the faculty have a strong field orientation as well. The instructional program focuses on several areas of emphasis where faculty expertise and student interest are the greatest: environmental sciences; global environmental change; landscape architecture and environmental design; methods; models and GIS; nature and society; people, place and region; and regional and community development. GIS science is a cross-cutting area of strength for the group. Faculty and students conduct their research throughout the world, with particular strength in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and California and the Western United States. Library materials are available on campus, in the State Library, and other state and federal agencies in Sacramento. The city of Sacramento, the state capital, lies 15 minutes east; San Francisco is 75 miles west. The city of Davis has a small-town friendliness and the park-like UC campus has a student body of 35,000. UC Davis is one of the nation’s top research universities where more than 7,000 students are engaged in graduate or professional studies. The campus is near two major urban centers, within the agriculturally diverse Central Valley and in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Nevada, providing outstanding research opportunities at UC research and field stations. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: The Geography Graduate Group offers the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Normally, admission into the graduate program is for full-time status, and in Fall Quarter only. Applicants should be prepared in geography or a related field. Students must contact the faculty to identify a major professor during the admission process. The minimum admission requirement is a grade point average of B (3.0 out of 4.0) in upper-division course work taken during the applicant’s last two years as an undergraduate, or other evidence of comparable scholarship. The GRE General Test is also required. Test should have been taken within the past five years. The TOEFL iBT is required of all applicants whose native language is not English, or whose education was not in English. A minimum score of 80 is required. Complete online applications for both admission and financial aid must be received by January 2nd to the GGG for fellowship, block grants and out-of-state fee waivers. To obtain materials visit the GGG website at http://geography.ucdavis.edu. Contact the GGG Program Coordinator, Department of Human Ecology, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, CA 95616. Telephone: (530) 752-4119. E-mail: caruport@ucdavis.edu.
