The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Geography (Thesis) offered by the Department of Geography in the Faculty of Science is a research-intensive program that emphasizes interdisciplinary and rigorous learning opportunities. The program's objective is to equip students with skills in cutting-edge thinking, intellectual independence, and scientific communication to either continue their studies or pursue professional opportunities.
The program may also be taken as one of the following options:
Development Studies option: students take an interdisciplinary seminar and focus on development-related issues in their thesis.
Neotropical Environment option: is aimed at students who wish to focus their graduate research on environmental issues relevant to the Neotropics and Latin American countries. Students will complete their research in Latin America and their core and complementary courses will be taught in Panama.
Currently not offered: Environment option: offered in collaboration with the Bieler School of Environment, the program considers how various dimensions (scientific, social, legal, ethical) interact to define environment and sustainability issues.
