Geography Geography Geography is for explorers. Geographers make sense of the world's environments and how people build the landscapes where we learn, work and play. We are a small department with a caring faculty. And rewarding careers in geography have never been better. Undergraduates emphasize geographic information science, international analysis or urban analysis.
Students learn through solving interesting problems.
Much of geography centers on communicating with maps. The graduate program emphasizes geographic information science, including the development of Geographic Information Systems and visualization of problems with digital maps. You may also consider a minor in geography. Geography supports future teachers, and welcomes students with minors as diverse as political science, journalism, environmental studies and computer science. A Minor or comparable course of study is required in support of the Major.
