...to the Department of Geography
and Human Environmental Studies at San Francisco State University.
Geographers study, map and analyze our changing natural and social
environments at a variety of scales from local to global. Programs
leading to the B.A. in Geography include Environmental Resource Management,
Physical Geography, Environmental Studies, Techniques in Geographic
Analysis, Cultural Geography, and Urban and Land Use Planning. The
M.A. graduate program supports international and field research on
a wide range of topics related to faculty expertise. Together these
provide multiple perspectives and tools to understand the relationships
between people and their environments, and solve problems related
to local and global change.
Geographers study physical and biological environments, human societies and their interactions across space and time. We utilize both natural science and social science perspectives. We seek to analyze the processes, spatial patterns and consequences of human-environment interaction. We use maps, fieldwork and geospatial technologies such as GIS to solve real-world problems at all spatial scales, from local to global.
