Geography, concerned with the earth as the home of people, stresses the locational analysis of human activities and their relationships with the environment. While geography is one of the most time-honored disciplines reflecting curiosity about people and places, it is also an applied discipline that offers insights about present and future issues, involving environment, culture, society, economy, and politics.
The breadth of geographic inquiry accommodates students who have broad interests and goals. Students may emphasize physical aspects of the environment, cartography/geographic information systems, economic geography, human settlements, and cultural geography.
The Department of Geography at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville was founded, along with the University, in 1957. In 1966, the department began offering a Graduate program in Geography. Today, the department houses 12 full-time faculty and numerous support staff. In 2004, the Department of Geography granted 22 undergraduate degrees and 7 Master's degrees.
