Overview
Students take a small number of core courses in research methods and design, and select an area of specialization in consultation with their advisers for the remainder of their course work and research.
Candidates for the the University of Connecticut Geography M.A. Program may pursue either Plan A or Plan B:
- The thesis plan requires the completion of 21 credits of course work, 9 credits of research, and the successful preparation and oral defense of a thesis.
- The non-thesis plan requires the completion of 30 credits of course work, a scholarly research paper, and a comprehensive final examination.
The program serves as a springboard for each student’s entrance into a community of people at an advanced level of geographical skill who share interests in tackling some of the most challenging problems and questions facing the discipline and society. In achieving that overarching goal, UConn Geography strives to provide a challenging, but at the same time comfortable, intellectual environment: one that welcomes and respects all students from across a broad spectrum of diverse backgrounds, research interests, and professional goals.
In outline, the student-centered goals of UConn’s graduate program are to:
- Ensure that graduate students are topically and methodologically prepared for careers in research by:
- providing a coherent track of courses in research methods
- providing a coherent track of courses in topics aligned with departmental research clusters
- Promote graduate-student centered intellectual development by:
- encouraging student-led topical and methodological study groups in the department
- encouraging student research presentations at regional and national conferences
- encouraging student proposals for extra-mural research funding, e.g. NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants
- encouraging the development of a student-edited working paper series
- encouraging students to make meaningful contributions to papers submitted for publication to refereed journals, i.e. sole or first authorship.
- Promote graduate student professional development by:
- encouraging student participation in Graduate School and Center for Teaching and Learning professional development programs
- encouraging student-designed special sessions at regional and national conferences
- ensuring each student has a teaching or internship opportunity
