These members of the faculty of The Florida State University (*) and Florida Atlantic University (t) are also members of the graduate faculty of the University of Florida and participate in the doctoral degree pro- gram in the University of Florida Department of Geography. The Department of Geography offers work for the following graduate degrees: Master of Arts or Master of Science (thesis); Master or Arts in Teaching or Master of Science in Teaching (nonthesis but with required teaching experience); Doctor of Philosophy. A graduate student should have an undergraduate major in geogra- phy, the social sciences, or the physical sciences with emphasis on geography. Deficiencies in undergraduate work in geography can be corrected concurrently with registration in graduate level courses. The department is prepared to support advanced pro- grams in various systematic and regional specialties. Human and physical geography research inquiries may be pursued in urban, economic, social, population, cultural, human ecology, and historical fields of geography, in environmental and resource studies, tropical agriculture, geomorphology, and remote sens- ing topics. Regional inquiries related to Latin America, Florida, and Africa south of the Sahara may be pursued. The department maintains close ties with interdepart- mental programs in Latin American and African studies, .urban and regional studies, tropical agriculture, and gerontological studies. Certificates in certain of these fields may be obtained in addition to graduate degrees in geography.
