PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Geography-<br />

Anthropology program is part of the Muskie School of Public Service,<br />

is affiliated with the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for<br />

Cartographic Education, and is the home of USM-GIS. It offers a 36-<br />

39 credit hour interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in which<br />

students combine both disciplines to study human-environment<br />

interrelationships. The major thrust of the program’s work at all<br />

levels, from teaching to research, is in developing and applying<br />

disciplinary skills to real world problem-solving. Six dedicated<br />

Geography, GIS and Archaeology laboratories and an array of field<br />

equipment support this effort. Students are encouraged to complete an<br />

internship or to complete a field school as part of their course of study.<br />

They may concentrate in one of three tracks: Sustainable Cultures &<br />

Communities; Cultural & Natural Heritage Management, or; Applied<br />

GIS and Geospatial Analysis. Geography-Anthropology Teacher<br />

Education tracks for both elementary and secondary education are<br />

available. Minors are available in anthropology, archaeology,<br />

geography, planning and GIS. Students can also earn a 12-14 credit<br />

Certificate in Applied GIS. Students can also opt to apply for an<br />

accelerated admissions Master’s degree in Planning Policy and<br />

Management.<br />

ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND<br />

FINANCIAL AID: The undergraduate academic semester of 12 to 15<br />

hours for full-time status is the current organizational system.<br />

Admission requirements are two-track with high school diplomas and<br />

adequate SAT scores for traditional students and open admissions<br />

with remedial help available for others. Financial aid is available for<br />

those who qualify.<br />
