Overview
The Geography Ph.D. at Kansas State University fosters:
- an understanding of scientific inquiry
- knowledge of the structure of the geographic discipline, its history, issues, methods, and trends;
- proficiency in appropriate analytical and technical skills; and
- competency in communicating the results of research
800-level course requirement
No more than 6 credit hours of 500-level courses are permitted in a Ph.D. program, but no 500-level geography course may appear in the program of study.
Not more than 6 hours of independent study or other individualized courses should ordinarily appear on the program of study for the doctoral program. For exceptions to this, the chair of a student’s supervisory committee should write a memo to the Graduate School that accompanies the program of study and explains the reasoning for the exception request.
Non-Geography course requirement
At least three hours must be taken in a department other than geography. Preferably, a course will be taken from a faculty member who will serve as the outside member of the supervisory committee.

Other requirements
General requirements
- All international students admitted to the Graduate School must demonstrate the same level of achievement as U.S. students. That is, they must hold a degree from an established institution comparable to a college or university in the United States, have an outstanding undergraduate record, have the demonstrated ability to do graduate work, and provide evidence of language proficiency sufficient for the pursuit of a graduate degree.
- Admission may be denied to students from technical schools, which may provide excellent training in special areas, but do not offer degrees equivalent to those of colleges and universities. As a rule, students from abroad are not admitted to nondegree status (that is, as special students). Questions about the qualifications of international students should be directed to the Graduate School.
