Modern geography provides understanding of the physical and socio-cultural systems of planet earth. Specialized majors prepare students for careers in urban, regional and environmental planning; environmental analysis and resource management; geographic information science; tourism and travel; climate science; and geographic education.

Students should complete at least 14 hours of geography courses and have junior or senior standing before enrolling in 5000-level courses. Students should consult with a geography advisor early in their major to plan their program of study. Additional information is also available from the geography website, brochures, and department bulletin boards. All majors in the Department of Geography satisfy the baccalaureate-level writing requirement by completing successfully GEOG 3030.
