    PhD Programs in Geography

    Geography informs the ways people interact with their environment, from the paths of daily commuters to the terms of international treaties. Programs in this subject usually include an investigation topics such as oceanography, map making and political theory.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
