Bachelor of Science in Geography and Environmental Resources

Southern Illinois University - Carbondale

Students in Geography and Environmental Resources learn about the Earth’s environment with a focus on the dynamic relationships between nature and society. Our broadly trained faculty emphasize the principles of physical and social science, in the context of environmental problem solving.The problems that geographers work on are among the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our research encompasses a range of environmental systems, from local food systems to regional river systems to the global climate system. We are making meaningful contributions to interdisciplinary environmental issues and our faculty are eager to include students, even freshmen, in grant-funded, problem-solving research.The Geography and Environmental Resources major at SIU is an opportunity to receive hands-on training, work with state-of-the-art equipment, and participate in research alongside faculty at the top of their respective geographic sub-fields. The education and practical experience that employers are seeking can be found right here at SIU.
