The department offers programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees in geography, which include four areas of concentration: 1) Earth system science, 2) Environment and natural resources, 3) Environment and society, and 4) Geographical information science. Study in geography prepares students to work in a broad range of positions related to land-use and natural resources management, planning, urban and economic development, environmental analysis, and geographic information techniques, including computer cartography, geographic information systems, and remote sensing. These positions are found in federal, state, and local governments, as well as in private industry and in academic institutions.<br><br>Our faculty and students have ongoing research to understand ecological and earth surface processes to improve the ways in which natural resources are managed. Our research advances solution-driven science to maintain the integrity of natural systems while providing the goods and services society desires.
