B. A. in Geography

The field of geography is one of the most exciting and dynamic disciplines at Rowan University. Far more than memorizing capital cities and place names on a map, geography is an engaging field that has a wide diversity of specializations.

The common themes that unite all geographers are the scientific exploration of the earth and spatial analysis. One branch of geography focuses on people (human geography) and the other branch focuses on the environment (physical geography). There are multiple sub-disciplines within the field that cover everything from geology and climatology to demography and planning.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (computerized mapping and analysis) has become one of the hottest areas of interest for students and a highly marketable skill. In addition to dynamic careers in the public and private sectors, many of Rowan’s geography graduate elect careers in teaching at the elementary and high school levels or go on to further their education with graduate studies.
