EMPLOYMENT
PROSPECTS FOR STUDENTS COMPLETING THE UIC GEOGRAPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM
Graduate students are provided substantial preparation and skills in
the technical aspects of the discipline and in matters of policy. The
graduate is suited to a range of niches in the job sector because the
program is responsive to the demands and employment opportunites that
are available, and graduates are not subject to the availability of
academic positions.
The placement of M.A. graduates depends essentially upon referrals
through the faculty's professional contacts, including previous
graduates. This network is maintained through the faculty's work in
applied geography and through research grants and contracts with public
and private agencies and organizations in the metropolitan
area. |
