Geography & Environmental Studies

 GES Main

Students in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies (GES) follow one of several academic paths, each of which provides a mix of lectures, field trips, and in-class discussions and activities.  Small class sizes enable many opportunities for student-faculty interaction.  GES faculty provide theoretical as well as practical perspectives to students.
