What Can I Do With A Major In Geography?

Geography

The study of geography focuses on the location of things in both the physical and human environments.

The discipline seeks to understand the characteristics of places, the processes that produced those characteristics and the interactions among places.

The geography major is a well-rounded, flexible, liberal arts degree and is good preparation for graduate work in geography or related disciplines.

Students may select courses within the geography major to design a more applied program focusing on geographic techniques and career-oriented courses.
