Our department offers a geography major and an interdisciplinary environmental science major as well as minors in both geography and physics. As a geography major, you will specialize in 1 of 3 concentrations: earth system science, environmental studies, or geographic information systems. The environmental science major provides students with a well-rounded
education in scientific techniques, analyses and tools to assess
environmental impacts and changes. It is an interdisciplinary science
program that spans biology, chemistry, and computer science in addition
to geography.
Beyond the classroom, you’ll put theory into practice through hands-on experimentation and research alongside your professors in our GIS and earth science laboratories. You also will gain real-world experience through valuable off-campus internships and research opportunities with local community organizations. We also host a chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the international geography honor society for outstanding majors.
