Engaged with the world through the study of geospatial science, human geography and the environment
Who We Are
The George Washington University Department of Geography uses the latest geospatial technologies to contribute to new discoveries and solutions.
Geography, Environmental Studies and Environmental and Sustainability Science students make their mark on the world and help find solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges, including climate change, urbanization, social injustice, sustainability and migration.
With a master of science program, three undergraduate majors and two minors, the Department of Geography equips its scholars with tools to work for respected companies, for nonprofits, for universities, and in public service at the local, state and national levels.

“My life is busier than I ever thought it could be, but if I had more hours in the day, I would spend them in the GW Geography Department. It still feels like home.”
