INVESTIGATING GEOSCIENCE COMPETENCIES: THE GEOSCIENCE CAREER MASTER’S PREPARATION SURVEY (GEO CAREER MAPS) Funded by the National Science Foundation Grant: Heather Houlton (AGI) Michael Solem (AAG)

Employment Context US Department of Labor projects “faster than average” or “much faster than average” growth in jobs for geographers, geoscientists, cartographers, urban and regional planners, etc., with projected needs of upwards of 15,000 additional employees in each of these career fields between By 2018, the US Commission on the Future of Graduate Education projects an additional 2.5 million jobs requiring an advanced degree, with the number of jobs requiring a master’s degree growing by 18% and those requiring a doctoral degree by 17%.

Geo Career Maps Purpose: Determine what competencies are taught and learned in Master’s programs. Investigate how well these outcomes align with workforce demand. Methodology: Surveys of students, faculty, and alumni (Geology, Geography, Hybrid) Poster Session 212, Booth 139 (Tuesday, October 21): Findings and comparisons

Professional Geography context Clear discrimination of skills related to physical geography, human geography, and geographic information science & technology. Professionals need to be good managers, communicators, writers, and problem solvers. Value of specialized knowledge in geography often varies. Ability to think spatially, having an interdisciplinary perspective, and geospatial technologies were broadly valued.
