How Can a Geography Degree at KSU Lead to a Valuable Career?
Geography is the study of the human and physical landscapes of the Earth's surface.
It considers many factors such as human culture, language, climate and weather, vegetation,
landforms, trade flows, transportation, and cities. These are studied using geography's
unique spatial perspective. Geographer Marvin Mikesell has labeled it the "why of
where." In addition to meeting the basic human and physical geography requirements,
KSU geography students also select a large number of courses in related studies. This
illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of geography and allows students to tailor
their degree to their personal and career interests. Related studies may be in the
humanities and social sciences, the arts, the physical sciences, business, and many
other disciplines. If you have started a degree in another field, you will see how
it will fit into your B.A. in Geography from KSU. A geography degree can lead to a
rewarding career in business, education, government (at any level), non-profit organizations,
or research.
