2. Answer the questions
3. Save the questionnaire as a .doc (Microsoft Word) or .rtf (Rich Text Format) file
4. Please e-mail back your statement of goals questionnaire to ronald.dorn@asu.edu. That way, we can get to work right away on your file.

Step 5

Submit Documents:

• Fill out the graduate domestic application
  • In this application, you will be asked to select a degree program. The easiest thing to do is search under “Education.” Then, find “Geography.” The MASGE is the only geography education degree at ASU.
  • If you want a “sneak peak” at the sorts of questions that will come up in filling out your graduate application, you can click here.
• Submit the fee
• Send your official transcripts to the Graduate College
• Send the Graduate College your three letters of recommendation

You do NOT need to send in test scores. After all of the materials are complete, the Graduate College will send your file to Ron and Gale. Then, you'll hear back from us as quickly as possible.
