Bringing Real-World Experience, Scholarship, and Achievement to the Classroom
The Geography, Geology, Environment, and Planning Department is made up of 13 full-time professors (eight in geography and five in regional planning), who have all earned their doctorates from highly respected universities. They bring a broad range of experience and expertise, always challenging and encouraging students to get truly involved in their work. They strive to know their students well and promote a friendly atmosphere within the department.
- Our professors' first priority is teaching. While they consult with organizations in the public and private sectors and/or conduct research and publish papers and books with leading academic presses and journals, their primary focus is making sure their graduate students are getting the support they need.
- All graduate students work with an advisor from the Geography, Geology, Environment, and Planning faculty.
- Our professors work with graduate students to connect them with internship opportunities most suited to your career path.
