About This Programme

Geography provides insights about the earth as the human habitat. It is a way of looking at the earth, not an inventory of its contents. This viewpoint rests on fundamental interlocking concepts. The cultural appraisal of the earth, the regional concept, areal coherence, human ecology, spatial interaction, study of landscape, and the concept of change are all ways the geographer tries to better understand the environment. Geographers are curious about what they see around them. They study the processes that shape the landscape, including those that build up the Earth's surface (earthquakes and volcanoes) and those that wear it down (weather, water, ice, wind, and waves). In addition to the physical landscape, geographers study the cultural landscape. 

Career Path

The broad, interdisciplinary field of Geography prepares students for a wide variety of careers related to spatial analysis, including career in urban planning, community development, emergency management, environmental studies, marketing, transportation management, map-making, real estate appraisal, demography, foreign service, library/information science, park interpretation, and teaching.
