Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Geography] From Chicago State University

The Earth is our home: what do we make of it? Geographers approach this question both from the physical environment side (through studies of landforms, weather and climate, and vegetation) and from the human environment side (through studies of of how we adapt to, depend on, and modify our environment).Geography is a discipline that brings together a number of fields of study to probe how people interact with their environment. Students at Chicago State University who select Geography as their major field are interested in these questions and how they apply to possible careers in planning, teaching, environmental studies, public policy, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and international affairs. They develop close working relationships with the advisors, faculty, and chairperson of the Department, who are always ready for advice on course selection and career planning.
