Undergraduate Programs

More than ever before, a global understanding is key to success in today's interconnected world. Geographers study topics ranging from the nature of places to sustainability to water resources and landuse/landcover change using geocomputational methods. Among the environmental and geosciences, geographers enjoy excellent career opportunities with very competitive salaries. Plus, you will prepare for a career that makes a positive impact on both people and the planet!

Geography Matters!

Training in spatial analysis, social and environmental systems, and geospatial techniques gives students a competitive edge for starting careers in both the public or private sectors.

Undergraduate students may pursue three degree options including a B.A. or B.S. in Geography, B.A. or B.S. in Geography: Pre-Planning Option, or B.S. in Geographic Information Science & Technology. Each program offer learning tracks or specialization areas that can be used to customize a degree to your interests and individual career objectives. These majors are also designed to accelerate completion of powerful dual-degree experiences, including the interdisciplinary B.S. in Environmental Science.

Undergraduates studying nearly any discipline can further strengthen their K-State degrees with a Geography Minor, Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences Secondary Major, and/or a Geographic Information Systems Certificate.
