Welcome to the UW Department of Geography! We are excited that you are considering the University of Washington for your graduate work. As the director of the graduate program, I look forward to working with you. The following pages (Admissions, M.A. Requirements, Ph.D. Requirements, and Funding) should answer many of your questions about our graduate programs, but if you have additional questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. We offer both an M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography and these programs are fashioned at the intersection of several broad research specialties. Following the work of the faculty, graduate students are encouraged to think outside the box of any particular ‘adjectival’ sub-field of human geography. Nevertheless, our programs draw on expertise in the following key areas: critical development and global health; economic geography; geographic information systems; society and environment; and urban, social, and political geography.
