The department offers the Master of Science degree program in geography with an emphasis on Sustainability. Geography is the discipline that deals with the relationship between human beings and their environment. The Department of Geography emphasizes the applied aspects of this theme, environmental analysis, planning, and management. The graduate program includes several dimensions of this emphasis, e.g., the role of resources in economic development and regional planning from physical/biological, technological, socioeconomic, policy, and spatial viewpoints. Students take courses that give them a foundation in these dimensions of environmental sustainability and management through a core program, then develop an area of strength within this theme. Students also develop the analytic and research skills appropriate to their emphasis.
