The Department of Geography offers work for the following graduate degrees: Master of Arts or Master of Science (thesis); Master of Arts in Teaching or Mas- ter of Science in Teaching (nonthesis but with re- quired teaching experience); Doctor of Philosophy. A graduate student should have an undergraduate ma- jor in geography, 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 programs in various systematic and regional special- ties. Human and physical geography research in- quiries may be pursued in urban, economic, social, population, cultural, human ecology, and historical fields of geography in environmental and resource studies, public policy analysis, tropical agriculture, geomorphology, and remote sensing topics. Regional inquiries related to Latin America, Florida, and Africa south of the Sahara may be pursued. The Department maintains close ties with interdepartmental programs in Latin American and African studies, urban and re- gional studies, tropical agriculture, tropical ecology, water resources, and gerontological studies. Certifi- cates in certain of these fields may be obtained in ad- dition to graduate degrees in geography. GEA 6109-Tropical Lands and Their Utilization (1-5; max: 10) Prereq: CEO 4124.
