    About

    Why Study Geography?

    Geography is the study of processes that shape human and physical environments on Earth. Geographers focus on a wide range of themes, including geospatial technologies, weather and climate change, land use and resource management, environmental analysis, planning, sustainability science, landscape study, and socio-cultural processes. Geographical research on global change is contributing to our understanding of some of the most pressing challenges that face our planet today.

    The Arthell Kelley Scholarship provides yearly awards to undergraduate and graduate students in Geography who have demonstrated excellence in their courses and extra-curricular activities.

    Geography students can specialize in geographic information systems, sustainable development, physical geography, biogeography, and human-environment processes. Students who major in geography are well prepared for a wide range of professional careers. Many of our alumni have gone on to forge successful careers in geographic information sciences, environmental analysis, and urban planning.
