Masters degrees in Geography: A program that focuses on the systematic study of the spatial distribution and interrelationships of people, natural resources, plant and animal life. Includes instruction in historical and political geography, cultural geography, economic and physical geography, regional science, cartographic methods, remote sensing, spatial analysis, and applications to areas such as land-use planning, development studies, and analyses of specific countries, regions, and resources.
The Applied Atmospheric Sciences Emphasis is designed to meet the educational needs of students with strong interests in weather analysis and forecasting, severe local storm environments, and/or mitigation of severe weather in an emergency management setting.
The Geographic Information Processing Emphasis educates students as geographical spatial analysts, with intensive studies in cartography, remote sensing, and geographical information systems. Among the essential components of the program are theory, research methods, and application development. To fulfill this goal, practical experience obtained from internships and field research is integrated into the curriculum.
