专业介绍：
一、Master of Arts---Geography地理学硕士
The Master’s program offers two plans: the thesis (Plan I) an the examination (Plan II) alternatives. The thesis (Plan I) will summarize the results of original scholarly research in Geography. The thesis shall conform to the style require by the Library/Grauate Division an shall be suitable in form an format for publication.
学校给学生提供了两个项目计划：
论文项目 和 考试项目
论文将总结地理学原始学术研究的成果。论文发表应符合图书馆/研究生部的基本要求，并应于出版的形式和格式来提交。
其中论文项目学生需要完成34个学分，考试项目学生需要完成46个学分。
对于考试项目的学生，期末考试将由三部分组成，并将评估候选人对地理的一般知识，并测试候选人对一个或多个系统专业领域和/或技术专业领域的掌握程度。学生应在考试预期日期之前至少三个月开始为考试做好准备。期末考试将由学生顾问和考试委员会进行，考试的范围和结构由顾问，委员会和学生决定。如果学生未能通过考试，他/她可以再次尝试而不会受到影响，在他/她失败后的季度或下一个可用的机会（以较晚者为准）进行重新测试。请注意，考试项目的学生没有资格继续攻读博士学位。

Require Unergrauate Preparation for the MESM Program
The Bren School welcomes applicants from any unergrauate major, an we value a iverse stuent boy. The Bren faculty expect applicants to have complete the following minimum prerequisite coursework:
§ Science – two courses (quarter or semester)科学课程
Applicants may meet the science prerequisite requirement through any combination of two courses in chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, or atmospheric science (incluing lower- an upper-ivision courses). Prospective stuents may want to view syllabi for MESM core courses on natural science (ESM 201 Ecology of Manage Ecosystems, ESM 202 Environmental Biogeochemistry, an ESM 203 Earth System Science). By reviewing these syllabi, prospective stuents will better unerstan topics covere in these courses an therefore will ientify relevant topics for prior stuy.申请者可以通过化学，生物学，物理学，地球科学或大气科学（包括低年级和高年级课程）两门课程的任何组合满足科学先决条件要求。
§ Math – two courses (quarter or semester)数学课程
