The vision of the Department of Geography is to be recognized for excellence in teaching and scholarship, and graduating students who are critical thinkers with a keen awareness and appreciation of the geographic dimensions of society.
The primary objective of the geography program is to provide students with intellectual maturity, geographic information, theory, and skills related to the solution of problems in a professional career. Those careers, in governments, corporations, and education, are based on understanding the intricate relationships between places, people and cultures. The program is a foundation for prospective employment in the state, nation, foreign areas and for graduate study.
