----------------------
The Department of Geography at California State
University, Long Beach, invites applications for its
master's degree program, for Fall 2004 admission.
Geography at CSULB has three main emphases:
* geospatial technologies and methods, including GIS,
remote sensing, cartography, quantitative methods,
qualitative methods, and field techniques (supported by a
NASA Regional Earth Science Applications Center housed in
the Department)
* environmental and physical geography, including hazards,
hydrology and water resources, biogeography, and
geomorphology
* human geography, including economic geography, urban
cultural geography, social geography, and medical
geography
The degree is suitable for those graduates with one of the
following professional goals:
* The M.A. in Geography allows one to teach at the
community college level, and it enhances one's background
as a K-12 teacher.
*It prepares those who are interested in professional
employment in the public sector (e.g., GIS analyst in
environmental management, land use planner, hydrologist,
remote sensing analyst at NASA or in planning agencies) or
the private sector (e.g., market area analysis with GIS,
corporate risk analyst, real estate appraiser).
*The M.A. in Geography at CSU, Long Beach, is also very
beneficial to those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. for a
career in research or in teaching at the university level.
The campus is the most frequently requested of the 23 CSU
campuses and it features the largest library in the CSU
system, as well as easy access to the UCLA and USC
research libraries. CSULB is an attractive campus near the
beach in a pleasant, livable community.
Estimated graduate student fees for the Fall 2004 semester
are $1,020 for graduate students taking 6 or fewer units
and $1,613 for those taking more than 6 units. For
out-of-State students (except teachers, military
personnel, children of California residents, and those who
graduated from a California high school), there is an
out-of-State surcharge estimated at $338 per unit.
Limited numbers of out-of-State surcharge fee waivers are
available on a competitive basis, however.
Ours is a friendly, coöperative, and student-centered
faculty, who work hard to help graduate students achieve
their educational and professional goals in a timely
manner. There is a community of active graduate students.
Some research and student assistantships are available,
and the Department has a large internship program.
