The Department of Geography at the University of Alabama has Graduate Teaching and Research Assistantships open for Fall 2014 enrollment in our MS programs in Earth System Science, Geospatial Techniques, and Planning ( http://geography.ua.edu/graduate_program/index.php). The graduate program in geography prepares students to work in a broad range of positions with federal, state, and local governments, environmental consulting firms, private conservation and resource management agencies, and educational institutions, and allows students to pursue further academic study. The MS degree in geography requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate coursework and successful defense of a thesis. Interested students should contact a member of the faculty that shares their research interests ( http://geography.ua.edu/research/index.php) and then with approval they may formally apply to the program. Applications should be submitted electronically at: http://graduate.ua.edu/application/forms/index.html. Applications are currently being reviewed and should be completed by March 15 for funding consideration.
