Overview
Our undergraduate and graduate programs will build upon our strengths in traditional areas, while expanding into new and emerging interdisciplinary domains. In addition to classroom instruction, we offer educator licensure and a wide array of research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
The Department of the Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Northern Illinois University has two separate emphases: Geography and Geomatics. The emphasis in Geography has four areas of specialization: Area Studies-the geography of people, places and regions; Geographic Information Systems-blending mapping science and information technology; Natural Environmental Systems-environmental science with human impacts; and Urban/Economic Systems-how we organize and inhabit our world.
Why Geography ?
Geographers can be found in a variety of industries, working as urban transit planners, cartographers, meterologists, climatologists and human rights advocates, to name a few.
Geographers are well prepared to meet the rapidly evolving demands of today's industries given their big picture perspective, eye for detail and ability to integrate and synthesize information at a variety of scales.
