The Department of Geography
at The George
Washington University is dedicated
to achieving excellence in research and
education. We
seek this through the diffusion of geographic
knowledge that focuses on the relationships
between the physical world and its occupation
and modification by humans. Geography
is
an integral part of the basic education
of university students, occupying a central
role in the pursuit of knowledge among
complementary disciplines. Offering introductory
and a
wide range of advanced courses, the faculty
of geography is committed to excellence
in teaching, scholarship, research, and
the incorporation of innovative methods
of geographic analysis and communication.
We believe in fostering an educational
environment
that introduces young scholars to the theoretical
and applied aspects of contemporary and
historical geography.
We seek to prepare our graduates to meet
the challenges of further study and professional
careers in several fields.
