Master of Arts [M.A] [Geography] From University of Denver

The department currently offers MA and Ph.D. degrees in Geography and the MS in Geographic Information Science. With a permanent faculty of nine, we have strengths in several substantive areas, and maintain a good balance among human geography, physical geography, and geographic information science. The graduate population ranges from 30 to 35 students, roughly two-thirds of which are in residence at any given time. Our modest size affords many advantages ? small classes, personal attention, excellent financial aid packages, job placement assistance, and the chance to develop rewarding relationships with faculty, staff, and other students. The department also boasts outstanding facilities and resources, with newly renovated and updated offices, labs, and classroom space, and offers numerous opportunities for field training through a range of trips and courses, both in the U.S. and abroad.Graduates from this department have enjoyed considerable success in securing employment related to their training and interests. Recent alumni with human geography emphases are currently working for state and local planning agencies, developers, consulting firms, and private industry in Colorado and elsewhere. Those with interest in physical geography have found employment in federal and state agencies, environmental consulting firms, and private enterprises. Alumni completing the MS/GIS degree are now employed by planning and environmental consultants and GIS companies. In addition, numerous graduates of the doctoral program hold faculty teaching positions with colleges and universities around the country.
