The geography major addresses the “why of where” by uniting social and
biophysical sciences, humanities and technology to examine the factors
that make a place or environment unique. Connecting academic inquiry to
real-world problem solving, you will develop critical thinking skills
and be prepared to transfer classroom and field experience into a wide
range of careers. With interests ranging from globalization to climate
change and sustainability, urbanization to community development at home
and abroad, our students gain the knowledge, techniques and
perspectives needed to meet current and future challenges.
