Overview

Geographers have an intense curiosity about the world. We ask questions and investigate spatial relationships between the various social, economic, and environmental phenomena for real-world problem solving. Geographers are equipped with skillsets and tools such as analytical methods, field techniques, computer technology, data handling and analytics, and cartographic display. We address the dimensions of space and time.

Using the latest state-of-the-art tools and technologies offered by the Geographic Information Sciences, Geography at Jacksonville State University contributes to the development of public policy and strongly influence the ways in which societies view the world. From the public to the political, from growth and development to government and defense, geography touches every aspect of our lives.
