Welcome current and prospective undergraduates!

We have a very strong undergraduate program currently serving about 140 majors and 25 minors. We offer six different major tracks, including environmental geography, meteorology, geographic information science, environmental prelaw, urban planning, and geography. The track system provides students with the opportunity to focus on the branch of geography that interests them the most, while also obtaining with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of the discipline as a whole.

Our department is committed to excellence in both teaching and advising. Several of our faculty members have received teaching awards, and we are known across campus for the quality of our advising. Each student meets one-on-one with their faculty advisor every quarter during advising week, and students are always welcome to meet with their advisor at any time throughout the quarter whenever questions may arise. In addition to advising students about their academic program, we keep them informed about internships, nationally competitive awards, and other opportunities as they arise. Many of our students complete internships and several have received nationally competitive awards over the last few years.

We are happy to answer any questions you might have about our programs of study, the department, or the field of geography. If you don't find the information regarding our undergraduate program that you are looking for on our Web site, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
