The Master of Arts in geography equips students with advanced expertise in geographic theories and techniques.
The Urban Planning and Economic Development specialization is particularly sought-after, given the shifting population and employment trends away from major metropolitan hubs in the U.S. Both private enterprises and government agencies require skilled planners to implement effective economic and community growth strategies that enhance living standards across nations at various development stages.
Students complete their degree by choosing among three capstone options: a thesis, internship-based project, or professional portfolio alternative.
