PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department offers a baccalaureate degree programs, four minors and four concentrations. The programs include a BA and minor in Geography, a BA and minor in Environmental Studies, a BS and minor in Planning, a BS and Minor in GIS and a BA in Integrated Studies in Geography and Environment. The concentrations include: Geoscience, variety of programs related to geography and the environment including five Environmental Science, Applied Geographic Knowledge and Skills (GeoEducation), Geographic Inquiries into Global Issues and a certificate in cartography and GIS. All of these programs integrate theory and practice, blending both academic and applied facets of geography, environment, planning, and geospatial technologies. In support of its teaching, research and outreach, the Department houses the Geospatial Research Laboratory (GeoLab) which includes three state of the art computer labs in which students learn to use the latest, high level GIS software (a site license for the full ESRI package) using state-of-the-art hardware platforms and peripherals including large format high resolution plotters and scanners as well as survey quality global positioning system (GPS) receivers. This equipment is used by faculty for research and outreach projects. Students have full access to these labs in which they can pursue class projects and research, often working closely with faculty members. Our Department also works closely with the College of Education to ensure that our dual major program meets the requirements and scheduling needs of education majors. Upon graduation departmental majors pursue a variety of options including continuing their education at the graduate level, teaching elementary or secondary school, working in environmental firms, as planners or as GIS specialists in various agencies, environmental protection departments, engineering firms, software development firms and in many other areas. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Rowan University is on a semester plan. The department offers all major courses in rotation during day and evening time periods, thus providing students flexibility in completing our program. We also offer a limited selection of lower and upper division courses during the summer term. Admission requirements include high school diploma or GED equivalency, and either SAT or ACT scores. Financial aid programs include loans, grants, scholarships, and employment.

PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The graduate program in Geography at Rutgers offers rigorous interdisciplinary training in areas that reflect a diverse set of empirical questions and theoretical approaches. Much of the research conducted by program faculty falls broadly within an environment and society tradition, but other specializations are encouraged. Specific strengths of the program include: 1) environmental geography – political ecology; human dimensions of global environmental change; human responses to environmental hazards; institutional and cross-cultural aspects of resource management involving forestry, fisheries, wildlife conservation, mining and agriculture; environmental justice; public health and risk communication; 2) urban/economic geography and social theory – globalization; uneven development; contemporary urban development, revitalization and gentrification; diverse economies; grassroots politics; citizenship; democratic theory and practice; housing, residential segregation, and community control of land use; gender; race; nationalism; 3) physical geography – climatology and climate change; snow-cover dynamics; cryosphere; hydrology; land use and land cover change; invasive species; coastal geomorphology; and 4) geospatial information science – remote sensing; geographic information science; spatial statistical analysis; cartography. The university's location in the New York metropolitan region, its proximity to the diverse physical and social environments of the mid- Atlantic and Appalachian regions, and its ties to many state, national, and international organizations combine to provide compelling geographical research opportunities. The program houses the Office of the State Climatologist, and maintains close ties with a number of interdisciplinary units across the university including the Center for Urban Policy Research, the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, the Center for Historical Analysis, the Center for Cultural Analysis, Centers for African, Latin American, Latino and Hispanic Caribbean, 115
South Asian and European Studies, and the Grant F. Walton Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis. Certificate Programs are available in Geomatics, Human Dimensions of Global Change, and Quaternary Studies. The Department of Geography has several laboratories equipped for instruction and graduate research. The Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy also contain excellent facilities for remote sensing and geographic information systems and are accessible to students through participating geography graduate faculty. GRADUATE PROGRAM ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND FINANCIAL AID: The program offers four-year funding packages to a limited number of qualified applicants consisting of a mixture of fellowships and teaching assistantships. All application materials must be received by January 15 for admission the following academic year. FACULTY (members of core department and graduate program): D.
