Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment.

At ASU, the School of Geographical Sciences provides an opportunity for study in several areas:

  • Cultural Geography, including Population and Migration
  • Environmental and Landscape Dynamics
  • Geographic Information Science and Technology
  • Meteorology and Climatology
  • Urban and Regional Geography

Geography majors may choose from several programs, earning a Bachelor of Arts, Science or Education, or a Bachelor of Science with one of several concentrations.

Students from the undergraduate program are able to enter the job market and immediately qualify for positions in GIS, meteorology, urban planning, travel and tourism, product marketing and others.

We also give students a strong academic foundation that prepares them for graduate work in areas such as climate science, cultural geography, environmental and landscape dynamics, GIScience and spatial analysis, and urban and regional analysis.
