 The Department of Geography offers the Master of Arts,
Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. It
also offers a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of
Science in Teaching, which are nonthesis degrees. Ad-
vanced student programs may be pursued in the following
systematic specialties: urban, economic, social, popula-
tion, cultural, historical, environmental geography, as
well as human ecology, resource management, tropical
agriculture, climatology, geomorphology, hydrology, and
remote sensing topics. Regional studies may be focused
on Latin America, Florida, and Africa south of the Sahara.
Prospective applicants should examine the research inter-
ests of the department's faculty to obtain a more detailed
appreciation of the department's specialties.
 To ensure the incorporation of relevant interdiscipli-
nary perspectives in each student's program, the Depart-
ment maintains close ties with other departments in
Liberal Arts and Sciences, and with programs in Latin
American and African studies, urban and regional studies,
tropical agriculture, tropical ecology, gerontological stud-
ies, water resources, the College of Education, and the
College of Business Administration. Certificates in certain
of these fields may be obtained in addition to graduate
degrees in geography.
 A graduate student should preferably have an under-
graduate major in geography, but applicants with degrees
in one of the social or physical sciences are accepted into
the department's graduate program. Deficiencies in
undergraduate work in geography can be corrected con-
currently with registration in graduate level courses. All
students in the graduate program are required to take
courses in contemporary geographic thought and geo-
graphic research skills.
