College of Science & Engineering
Welcome to Geography & Environment
The Department of Geography & Environment provides undergraduate and graduate programs in
Geography (B.A. & M.A.), Environmental Science (B.S.), Resource Management & Environmental
Planning (M.A), and Geographic Information Science (M.S.). The department supports research with
field and lab equipment, and computer labs with advanced GIS, remote sensing and modeling
software. Department faculty have active research programs involving students. Our degree programs
provide multiple perspectives and tools to understand the relationships between people and their
environments, and to solve problems related to local and global change.
