Geography is the study of the spatial organization, arrangement, function, movement, and interrelationships of phenomena on the surface of the earth. It is a science concerned with both physical and cultural phenomena and routinely interfaces with other disciplines in the natural sciences, social & behavioral sciences, humanities, business, and economics. With a global perspective and a robust geospatial toolkit (GIS, Satellite Imagery, Computer Mapping, GPS, and other Technologies.), the department prepares students to engage in the processes that create more sustainable environments and communities throughout the world.
