GRADUATE PROGRAMS
An interdisciplinary concentration in regional science is available for
students enrolled in master's or doctoral degree programs in the following
departments: agricultural economics, business administration, economics,
finance, geography, and urban and regional planning. Program concentration
varies by department and includes emphasis in transportation planning, regional
development and planning, real estate and urban land economics, urban and
regional analysis, and environmental systems and management. Core courses are
taken in regional and social science theory, location theory, and methods of
regional analysis; the specific core courses will depend upon background and
major department. Further specialization may be pursued by making approved
selections from among a rich array of more than forty regional science courses
in the participating departments.
ADMISSION
Prospective students should address inquiries to the program office. Applicants
desiring a major or minor emphasis in regional science should seek admission to
one of the cooperating departments. All degree candidates must complete the
requirements of the department in which they enroll. Students specializing in
regional science are expected to have a sound background in economics,
statistics, and mathematics. Deficiencies in these subjects must be removed
during the first year of graduate study.
