The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies and the Department of Economics offer a Shared-Credit Undergraduate/Graduate Degrees Program. The Program enables completion a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Economics (with one of three undergraduate minors from Geography and Environmental Studies), and an M.S. in Geography in five years of study. For information, see the Economics: Undergraduate Program section of this Catalog.
Minimum requirements for the M.S. in Geography degree are provided in the following table. The
requirements that a given course can satisfy are generally indicated by the course number. For instance,
courses in the range 510-519 (written below as 510s) are Environmental Studies seminars.
A graduate student who elects to pursue the Master of Science in Geography should have either an undergraduate degree in geography (or related field) or be prepared to make up deficiencies as determined by the Geography and Environmental Studies Department’s Graduate Admissions Committee. Incoming students will be assigned an academic advisor to help design a plan of study, and to guide the student through their thesis or research project. All plans of study are subject to approval by the Graduate Program Director. Students must earn grades of "B" (3.0 GPA) or better in all courses on their plan of study. GRE scores are required for application to the M.S. program.
The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at UNM offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Geography through the New Mexico Doctoral Program in Geography, which is administered and delivered collaboratively by Geography faculty at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University (NMSU). This innovative program focuses on integrative human-environment dynamics and is designed to recruit and train the next generation of resource managers, policy thinkers, geospatial innovators, professional scientists, and academic leaders who are needed to solve complex contemporary problems in dynamic environments. The program can be pursued with either university as the home institution and does not require changing residency during the program.
Applicants must have a master's degree in geography or a related field, with demonstrated professional research capacity as a fundamental expectation. GPA and GRE scores must be submitted but will not individually determine whether an applicant will be admitted. International students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in English through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). All candidates must submit three letters of reference from academic referees and/or supervisors at workplaces in fields related to the applicant's planned field of study. A letter of intent that explains the applicant's interests and identifies a desired advisor at the home institution as well as a primary sponsor at the partner institution is also required. Application is made directly to the desired home institution.
A joint committee of UNM and NMSU faculty reviews and approves admission to the program. The most competitive applicants to the program will show evidence of a completed or in-progress thesis in geography or a related discipline.
The student must maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.0 in all coursework.
