Geography Master of Arts

About us

Graduate work in geography has been offered at The Ohio State University since the early 1920s. Currently, the department offers programs leading to an MA or a PhD. At both levels, an emphasis is placed on two of the requirements for present day geographers - theoretical understanding and methodological skills. Within the profession, the department is known for its theoretical and empirical approaches in four specialty areas:

  • Environment and Society
  • Atmospheric and Climatic Studies
  • GIS and Spatial Analysis
  • Urban, Regional and Global Studies
