Vision & Mission

Vision

  • We envision that the department will continue to build its reputation in undergraduate geography programs in the areas of mapping science, global systems analysis, earth science, environmental analysis and planning, and urban and regional planning.
  • Geography faculty will work to maintain, update, and improve the curricula associated with these outstanding programs.
  • We aim to aid our students in developing the capacity for both innovative and integrative thinking in a variety of professional and intellectual contexts.
  • To lead the development of academic, educational, and research directions of human and natural systems, land cover/and land use change and geospatial information science, harnessing the integrative nature of geographic science to answer fundamental questions of global importance.
