How do you know geography is for you?
Geographers address the major problems facing the world today. With skills in cutting-edge technologies and with extensive travel and research, you will explore key questions of environmental change and globalization.
As a geography graduate, you will:
Be highly skilled with the latest technologies: making maps and providing solutions using cutting-edge technology will ensure you are in demand as a geography graduate.
Know how the environment works and how humans interact with the natural world: you will not only contribute to future environmental strategies, you will lead their design.
Understand the reality of globalization and sustainability: you will be at the forefront of new thinking in international development, sustainability, and urban change.
Be ready and experienced: geographers at JMU have worked for Boeing, National Geographic, federal, state, and local governments. Through the program, you can travel to Central America, Europe, South East Asia, the Caribbean and elsewhere.
