Academics & Advising
Our degree programs are designed to engage students in interactive coursework that prepares them for careers that provide solutions for human-oriented and environmental challenges.
Undergraduates can choose between a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of science in geography or a bachelor of science in environmental science. We also offer a distinction in either of the two disciplines.
Graduate students can pursue master's and PhD degrees in geography or a master's in geographic information science (GISc).
Academic Programs
Undergraduate Degrees
Undergraduate students studying geography or environmental science will gain scientific understanding through balanced instruction in both technical and social aspects of problem solving.
Graduate Degrees
Graduate students benefit from participating diversified faculty research projects while they earn their master's or PhD. Students work as research or teaching assistants, gaining priceless experience as they complete their degrees.
International Partners in Scholarship
Undergraduate students who know they want to pursue graduate-level research and have an itch to study abroad can apply to become a Global Masters Scholar.
In this program, undergraduates work toward high marks in their program in order to travel to either Lund University in Sweden or the University of Western Australia for their senior year where they will stay to earn their MS degree by the end of their fifth year.
