About the course

The department has three majors: Geography, Environmental Sustainability, and Geographic Information Science (GIS) which all offer a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. Geography, environmental sustainability, and geographic information science are all strongly interlinked. Together, they provide new ways of thinking and tools for understanding and managing the planet. Yet each is sufficiently distinct and provides different career paths and opportunities for students and practitioners. Environmental Sustainability is a growing field that addresses how societies can meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Environmental sustainability has emerged as a field of study following recognition that the resources that support human life and make it comfortable are decreasing in quantity and quality while the demand and consumption for these resources continues to rise. Simultaneously, there is recognition that the issues involved, such as renewable energy resources, climate change, biodiversity loss, water resources, environmental justice, air and environmental quality etc., are cross-cutting issues that are not, and cannot adequately be, addressed by existing disciplines. Thus, there is need for new educational and research paradigms that weave environmental, economic and social issues together to provide students with an interdisciplinary education designed for dealing with such complex issues. Environmental sustainability degree holders are well-prepared for careers in state and municipal government, non-governmental organizations, and business. Graduates of this program will lead efforts in research, decision-making, and policies that underpin the drive for sustainable futures. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
