Master of Arts students may pursue geographic themes of study and research such as population, urban/economic, or cultural/historical. Recent faculty research papers and publications have examined rural planning, Eastern Europe, economic development, geographic information systems, regional input-output analysis, population patterns, religious landscapes, microcomputers, and geographic education. Faculty members serve in various capacities in the Association of American Geographers, Pennsylvania Planning Association, and several other professional organizations. The Spatial Sciences Research Center, an entity that facilitates grant-funded academic research and contract work, is located within the department.
