Interest FormWhy Study Geography
Geography serves as an excellent undergraduate major. We offer both an associate of science and associate for transfer degree in geography.
Geographers study and interact with both the physical and social sciences in their quest to better understand the world around us.
In our program, you'll study natural formations, such as mountain ranges and deserts, as well as manmade environments of cities and transportation networks.
We also offer a degree and certificate program in Geographic Information Systems Technology — one of the top emerging industries in the 21st century according to the US Department of Labor.
