Careers in Geography
Students who complete a Geography program develop knowledge and skills that are relevant to a wide variety of careers, such as in the fields of land use planning, resource management, marketing, environmental research, and teaching. Some positions require technical training in such areas as geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, or cartography, and many of our graduates now augment their degree with specialist training in such areas.
