Majoring or Minoring in Geography

If you are thinking of majoring or minoring in Geography, look into our peer mentoring program and discuss research opportunities with our faculty members.  If you want to learn more about what geographers do, consider joining the Geography Club or coming along to our regular colloquium series

of visiting speakers (Fridays 3.30pm-5.00pm in Saunders 220).  If you are just curious, take a course on the environment, regions, places, the US, or North Carolina, or enroll in our training program in geographic information systems.
