University, Chico,  would like to remind anyone interested in
pursuing a master's degree,  either in Geography or in Rural
and Town Planning, that we are accepting applications through
April 4 for the Fall, 1997, semester.
   Chico State has a unique interdisciplinary master's program
in planning, in its focus on the planning needs of rural areas
(including environmental and water resource planning) and
smaller towns.  The geography master's has particular strengths
in hazards, resources, cultural ecology, GIS and other tech-
niques, physical and environmental geography, and geographic
education.
