Do I need a Bachelor’s degree (BA or BSc) in Geography to be admitted?
No. A good percentage of our students come in with a B.A. or an M.A. in some other discipline. A background in Geography may help establish your credibility. But to give a hypothetical example: an applicant from some other field who has very high GRE scores and who has written a convincing statement of intellectual purpose that fits in with our faculty interests is more likely to be admitted than an Geography major with low GREs and an unfocused statement of purpose. More will be said below about these important criteria.
