American and Caribbean, South Asia and Middle Eastern, Russian, East European and Eurasian). Professional Science Master’s in GIS program—The PSM combines scientific and professional training in GIS and Business to prepare students for careers with businesses that use and develop geospatial technologies. Students build a flexible, cross-disciplinary expertise around a strong Geographic Information Science core, while acquiring business knowledge and professional skills. The business curriculum includes technology management, marketing, entrepreneurship, project and/or project management and finance. PSM students typically complete the program in sixteen-months, consisting of three full-time semesters and a summer internship.. Students in this program may not hold assistantships or other tuition and fee waiver-generating appointments. Departmental facilities include an instructional GIS laboratory with state-of-the-art hardware and a variety of software including ArcGIS, ERDAS, ENVI, and spatial statistical software. The department also has an Earth materials laboratory for soil and fluvial analysis. The department is home to several specialized research centers:1) the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory, a cooperative venture between the University of Illinois and the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago, focusing on the development and use of analytical models for urban and regional forecasting and economic problem solving; 2) the CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies, which was established as a partnership among several units on campus, and focuses on computationally intensive spatial analysis and modeling, high-performance and collaborative GIS, and cyberinfrastructurebased geospatial problem-solving environments and applications; 3) the Social Dimensions of Environmental Policy Initiative which aims to improve management of the earth’s environmental through research on social and policy dimensions of sustainability; 4) the Global Environmental Analysis and Remote Sensing (GEARS) Laboratory that addresses the impacts of climate change and land use/land cover change on vegetated ecosystems using remote sensing. Other research facilities on campus include the largest publicly supported university library in the United States. The Map and Geography Library contains an excellent collection of monographs and journals and one of the largest map collections in the country. There is also access to the National Center for Super Computing Applications, and the department has close research and teaching ties to the Illinois State Geological, Natural History, and Water Surveys and their analytical facilities. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Semester systems. Minimum standard for admission to the Masters program is a B average, higher for the Ph.D. program. Scores from the Graduate Record Examination must be submitted, along with three letters of recommendation. Teaching assistantships, research assistantships and several Graduate College and departmental fellowships are available. Currently, one-half time nine-month appointments for assistants carry a minimum stipend of about $16281plus remission of tuition. Nearly all resident graduate students, other than PSM students, are supported by fellowships, scholarships, and assistantships. FACULTY: Thomas J.

Telephone (309) 298-1648. Fax (309) 298-3003. E-mail: geography@wiu.edu. Internet: www.wiu.edu/geography/. PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The department offers three options within its M.A. program: thesis, applied project, and professional plan. Each of these programs provides students with a degree of flexibility. Only two core courses are common to each program. All other aspects of the program are elective, and can be tailored to suit individual objectives. The thesis option is intended for those who plan to enter a doctoral program and/or pursue careers in research. The applied project option is designed to give students practical real-world work experience on a project that may involve an internship. Finally, the professional plan serves practicing professionals and those about to enter the workplace. Students in all programs must submit a proposal for their final product (thesis, applied project or professional plan) and defend the results of their undertaking before a three-member faculty committee. Department facilities are housed in Tillman Hall and include office space for all full-time graduate students; two GIS labs with more than 60 networked machines running ESRI GIS software and ERDAS Imagine; a County GIS Center responsible for all GIS analysis for the City of Macomb and McDonough County; meteorology laboratory with Linux computers, weather station and weather radar. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: UNDERGRADUATE: The department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Geography & GIS and Meteorology as well as minors in Geography, Weather and Climate, and GIS. The Geography degree includes emphases in geospatial, cultural or physical geography. The Meteorology degree is designed to meet the NWS and AMS curricular requirements. GRADUATE: Admission requires that the applicant have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and an overall grade-point average of at least 2.75 (on a 4-point scale), or a grade-point of at least 3.0 for the last two years of undergraduate work. Applicants should have completed at least 24 semester hours of Geography. Students who lack preparation in basic cartographic techniques and/or basic quantitative analysis techniques are required to complete coursework as deficiencies. Students with deficiencies may elect to—and are strongly encouraged to—complete deficiencies prior to beginning the program. Graduate assistantships are available. Assistants receive monthly stipends and their tuition charges are waived. The GRE is highly recommended.
