Alumni Outcomes
Geography jobs rank among the fastest-growing and highest-paid for recent graduates. Geographers are sought after in federal, state and local administrative agencies; in private firms that specialize in planning and development; and in environmental and socioeconomic analysis jobs. Our alumni pursue rewarding careers in all of these fields and have even returned to join our faculty to teach and research in their fields.
"The contacts I developed during graduate study at GW led to both jobs I've had since graduation."
