Master of Arts Degree Options
M.A. 论文
M.A. Non-论文 (Two-paper project based option)

黄石公园M.A. emphasizes innovative interdisciplinary applied research that can be summarized as distinct research clusters that offer graduate 学生 excellent opportunities to develop professional skills you desire. The clusters are cultural-historical-regional, economic-urban, remote sensing-地理信息系统-cartography, and Geomorphology-climatology. 遥感, 地理信息系统, cartography and quantitative techniques link the clusters together into a cohesive graduate program.

学生 obtaining an M.A. may select either a thesis or a non-thesis two paper option plan upon entering the graduate program. All 学生 in the program are required to submit a thesis or its equivalent in the research papers as one requirement for the degree. Along with the thesis work 学生 will complete a minimum of 37 semester hours which include a minor outside of the department. One-half of the credit hours must be taken in courses numbered 600 and above.

学生 in the department will work with their advisor to determine a course of study specific to their research and academic goals as well as developing their thesis or research papers. 学生 should expect to take two years to complete the Master's program in geography.

学生 finishing our graduate programs have been extremely successful in securing high salary, decision-making positions with NASA, U.S. Department of Agriculture, CIA, ESRI, ERDAS, and other outside firms. In addition, graduates of the department's programs also hold university-level academic positions
