What is Geography?
The Geography Department combines advanced theoretical analysis and interpretation with research on real-world problems. Students are deeply engaged in community service through internships, service learning, and senior projects, which center upon questions of environmental and social justice. Undergraduate students employ social and political theories; develop the ability to create and analyze maps and other forms of geovisualization; gather, analyze and interpret quantitative and qualitative data; and write clear and compelling research reports and papers.
