Program Description
UA requires all Ph.D. students to have a Ph.D. minor as well as a major.
The doctoral minor in geography (for Ph.D. students majoring in other disciplines at UA) consists of a minimum of 12 units of graduate coursework in geography, including a maximum of three (3) units of independent study. The program must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies and an appropriate SGDE faculty member, who is named to supervise the student's geography minor and to serve on the student's comprehensive exam committee. Students considering the Ph.D. minor in geography should consult with the Director of Graduate Studies and with potential SGDE committee members at an early stage about coursework and preparation for the comprehensive examination. The participation of the SGDE committee member must be agreed to by mutual consent through discussion with the student. The School does not require that an SGDE faculty member serve on the student's dissertation committee.
