Doctoral Program
The Ph.D. program of the Department of Geography at the University of Hawai‘i, Manoa (UHM), provides training for students seeking to advance their understanding of the concepts and methodologies applied by professional geographers. Our graduate students are employed in education, government service and industry, and the department prides itself on the standard of excellence it maintains and the demand for its graduate students both locally and abroad.
Students are encouraged to develop their own fields of specialization drawing on resources of the department and those of the university community in general, but the department expertise does concentrate in several specific fields. Students are advised to consult Faculty Profiles that can be viewed at http://www.geography.hawaii.edu/fac.html and the List of Recent Graduate Degrees Awarded at http://www.geography.hawaii.edu/theses.html to familiarize themselves with the range of opportunities the department has to offer. Early consultation with faculty and graduate students of the department is desirable.
