This graph highlights how each of the following individuals, resources, or experiences influenced Geology and Geography students' career goals.  Geology students' career goals included working in the private sector, working in education (in teaching or diversity-related studies), and aspiring towards management positions.  When geography students responded, they indicated their interest in pursuing teaching or education careers, working in the GIS, or going into industry-related careers.    

The Geo Career MaPS Survey posed the question, "How satisfied are you with the following aspects of your Master's degree program?"  The graphs above display six of the twenty-two factors asked of faculty and students.  

Faculty were asked about the amount of preparation their Master's students receive for 36 different geology-based technical competencies.  Students were asked how prepared they feel in each of these skills.  Finally, non-academic professionals indicated how important each of these are to their current positions within the geoscience workforce.  The content for investigating the technical geology competencies was taken from the National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG) Task Analysis Survey.  ASBOG is responsible for developing, writing, refining and grading the "Fundamentals of Geology" and "Practicing Geology" examinations used for state licensure. The graphs above illuminate 12 of the 36 competencies' trends.
