Target deadline for 2014 graduate student applications

The Department of Geography at the University of North Texas (UNT) is seeking highly motivated students interested in applying to our Master's degree program for the 2014-2015 academic year. At UNT Geography, we recognize that our world is increasingly globalized and environmentally connected, creating a new suite of challenges for humankind. We aim to prepare students to meet these challenges through engagement with both theory and practice. Our highly diverse and interdisciplinary faculty provides expertise in physical geography, human geography, environmental archaeology, and Geographic Information Science (GISc) and remote sensing.

We are located in the City of Denton, just north of the DFW Metroplex, one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the U.S, at the transition between the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregions. This environment offers a unique opportunity for students to become involved in a variety of relevant research projects. Several faculty members conduct research in Latin America, Africa, and Asia as well.

Denton is a unique and culturally vibrant college town that offers an economically accessible graduate lifestyle, the best of small town life and the amenities of two neighboring world-class cities­. Teaching assistantships, and other financial support, are available for competitive students. Applications submitted by January 31st, 2014, are assured consideration for all available funding opportunities.
