The Department of Geography offers a strong basic training that emphasizes traditional geographic theory, quantitative techniques, and environmental and policy studies. Analytical rigor combined with training in decision and policy analysis provides graduates with flexibility for choosing careers in government; environmental, economic, and resource-analysis areas; in remote sensing; and with research institutes, consulting firms and international organizations. Special emphasis of graduate study in the department lies in four subfields within the discipline: (1) energy-environmental systems and policy; (2) economic and transportation geography; (3) remote sensing and geographic information systems; and (4) physical geography (biogeography, climatology and hydrology). Opportunities exist in the department for graduate student participation in various applied research projects. Faculty are engaged in research sponsored by such agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the World Bank, and the United Nations.
