Overview

Students earning a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree from the department attain a level of expertise on an advanced topic situated within a broader foundation of geographic history, theory, and methods. The master’s degree is designed to be completed in two years and usually requires several semesters of coursework and completion of a master’s thesis. The thesis represents original research and commonly includes some combination of field, archival, and/or laboratory analysis. Many master’s recipients have continued on to the doctoral program. Other master’s recipients have found employment related to their graduate training in consulting, business, education, or government.

In order to receive the degree, students must meet the requirements of both the graduate program and the Graduate School. Students need to familiarize themselves with the requirements set forth in the Graduate School Catalog. The responsibility for fulfilling all requirements ultimately rests with the student.

Program Objectives

Each student should, during the course of his or her tenure in the master’s program;

Attain an understanding of how the thesis topic is situated within the broader discipline.

Be aware of research trajectories within his/her specialty.

Attain a level of field, archival, and/or technical training as appropriate for the thesis research.

Be able to effectively communicate ideas orally and in writing.

Program Outcomes

The master’s degree is awarded upon completion of a thesis or report involving original research that may require some combination of fieldwork and/or primary data sources. The thesis prepares students to pursue Ph.D. research or other professional goals. To that end, it involves original and independent research and demonstrates that the student is (a) able to define a problem in relation to a specific body of literature, and (b) exhibit professional competence and the necessary technical expertise to address a research question. Accordingly, each recent M.A. should:

Produce a thesis including argument and analyses worthy of publishing in a peer-reviewed journal.

Be a competitive applicant to doctoral programs or for employment within his/her field in the private and/or public sector.

Understand how to approach a selected research topic within his/her field of specialization.
