The exact nature and content of the program of study is highly flexible, and customized to the student's interests. Full-time students typically take three 3-credit courses for each of their first three semesters (Fall1, Spring1, and Fall2), with the fourth semester (Spring2) largely reserved for completing thesis research and writing. |
Beyond the two required courses - Geography 8750 and Geography 8760, which are normally taken during the first two semesters, students are expected to participate in two graduate seminars and take two courses in geographic methods and techniques (see degree requirements for full details, or the course checklist for a worksheet). Available courses include Geography classes numbered 7000 or above, as well as a host of relevant coursework available in other allied disciplines. |
