Hello Geographers and Sustainers,

This program may be of interest to some of you.  Note the priority application deadline of Feb 1.  That means you want to get your application in by Feb. 1 for full consideration for funding.  A later application might be considered, but by then you may have lost the chance for funding.

Funding for graduate school means that your tuition is paid by the school or by a research grant a faculty member has received.  And, you get a stipend that covers or helps cover your living expenses. 

Students who have taken and enjoyed courses from me and Dr. Kerr related to environmental change would likely be very interested in working with Dr. Megan Walsh.  You can check out her research, and the research of her colleagues, at the links below.  The person I know on the faculty is Dr. Walsh, and I recommend her to you as a possible MS thesis advisor, should your interests match.

Sincerely,

Sally Horn

Hello! 

 

The Cultural and Environmental Resource Management Graduate Program (CERM) invites students to apply to our interdisciplinary MS program to work with faculty in the Department of Geography at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. The two-year program integrates faculty and course work from Geography, Anthropology, and Economics to develop research on issues related to cultural and natural resource management, environmental change, and policy.   


The priority deadline for Fall 2021 applications and funding is February 1st, 2021. Graduate assistantship funding is available on a competitive basis. Students applying from the 16 states within the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) are eligible for in-state tuition. GRE scores are not required for our program. For more information, please the CWU Graduate Studies page.

Geography faculty conduct ongoing research in paleoecology, geomorphology, hydrology, conservation and land management, energy, transportation and human geography, GIScience, and critical cartography (please see attachment or email faculty below). Faculty work with and mentor students to complete original thesis research with a strong emphasis on fieldwork and/or collaboration with cultural and natural resource agencies or Tribal organizations.
