The Geography Program's greatest strength lies in its pragmatic, applied approach to the advanced study of geography. Students who seek comprehensive training in applying geographic concepts and techniques to real-world issues will find very few places to achieve that goal as well as at Oregon State. Areas of concentration in OSU's Geography Program are resource geography (integrated minor), physical geography (integrated minor), geographic information science (graduate certificate), and ecosystem informatics (minor). Each represents a specialization for graduate study, but there is overlap between the specialties and every student is exposed to aspects of all three areas of concentration. There is opportunity to include course work from other disciplines in programs of study (which may also be incorporated into an integrated minor). The master's degree requires successful completion of at least 45 hours of appropriate courses including a thesis, or 48 hours with a research paper (available as an option for geography majors only). The thesis presents a written summary of research findings and conclusions. All master's programs include a final oral examination. Each graduate program is supervised by a committee of at least three members of the graduate faculty who collaborate with the student in developing a program of study and research leading to the final oral examination. The examination is conducted and approved by the student's graduate committee.
