Incoming doctoral students are required to designate either Geography or Environmental Science & Policy as their area of emphasis (track) in their application for admission. Students seeking admission into either track should have a Master’s degree, or its equivalent, from an approved college or university. Once admitted, students are required to take a minimum of 60 hours prior to obtaining their doctoral Degree. It is possible, however, to enter directly into the PhD program without a Master’s Degree, on a case by case basis. Typically, applicants have degrees in geography, engineering, environmental science, public health, or earth science. However, applicants with degrees in other disciplines are also encouraged to apply. Those students admitted without a degree(s) in one of the disciplines listed above may be required to take selected undergraduate courses as determined by the faculty.
