Geography | Undergrad |
Are you curious about the world around you? Are you interested in connections between people and the environment? Do you like to learn new things about places, cultures, or current events? Do you want a degree that offers exciting and rewarding job opportunities? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, consider majoring in Geography.
Geography is not just about learning how to read a map or memorizing state capitals. It is a program of study that can prepare you for a career in a wide range of fields. For example, our graduates have taken positions as park rangers, urban planners, retail location analysts, resource managers, climate scientists, and geospatial analysts.
The Department of Geography and GIS at SIUE is energized by diverse faculty specializing in human geography, physical geography, and geographic techniques such as cartography, GIS, and remote sensing. Our faculty are engaged in research that impacts the local community and beyond. Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have the opportunity to work closely with faculty on current research projects or gain experience through internships.
Wherever you want to go, a Geography degree can take you there.

The major in Geography is 36 credit hours (details below). Students must earn a 'C' or better in all of their geography courses. Geography majors must have either a minor in another field or an Area of Specialization (AOS). The AOS is 18 additional credit hours (Geography courses cannot count for both the major and an AOS). The AOS must be developed in consultation with a Geography faculty member.
All new Geography majors must meet with Dr. Susan Hume (Phone: 618-650-5281 / Email: shume@siue.edu) before the end of their first semester as a declared major.
Geography majors pursuing Social Science Certification to teach must meet with Dr. Susan Hume (Phone: 618-650-2091 / Email: shume@siue.edu) before the end of their first semester as a declared Geography major pursuing teacher certification.
CAS General Advising will provide students with registration PINs and track progress toward graduation (Phone: 618-650-5525 / Email: casadvising@siue.edu). Students are strongly encouraged to meet with any Geography faculty member for mentoring, career / internship advice, and AOS and Senior Assignment advising during their undergraduate career.
Major Requirements [pdf]Either a minor or Area of Specialization (AOS) must be declared. The AOS option is designed to give students an opportunity to further explore the breadth and depth of Geography and related disciplines. The 18 credit hours completed for the AOS are unique from major course requirements; in other words, courses counted toward major requirements cannot also count toward an AOS.
Possible Areas of Specialization include Biogeography, Climatology/Meteorology, Cultural Geography, Development, Geographic Information Systems, Globalization, Physical Geography, Regional Studies, and Urban Studies. More details each of these Areas of Specialization can be found on the department website.
The AOS worksheet (found on the 'Forms' page of the department website) must be completed in consultation with a Geography faculty member. Both a faculty supervisor and the Department Chair's signatures are required for implementation.
