Geography Program   
Department of History, Geography, and Philosophy  

While undergraduate education remains the cornerstone of the GCSU Geography Program, an active research agenda is essential to the mission of our university and our department.  Research is the foundation of the academic world, and our faculty and students are actively engaged in research as a means of instruction and advancement.  Please see our research web links for more information on the world of geographic research.
