The Department of Geography at UNH is an undergraduate-only department offering both major and minor degree programs. With small class sizes, personalized advising by department faculty, and opportunities for independent study, our students receive a high degree of individual attention.
The geography major provides undergraduates with a solid foundation in geography by uniting social and biophysical sciences, humanities and technology to examine the factors that make a place or environment unique. A geography degree will prepare students to pursue a variety of careers or professional and graduate degrees.
With interests ranging from globalization to climate change and sustainability, urbanization to community development at home and abroad, UNH geography graduates have gone on to careers in urban, regional, and transportation planning, community development, environmental conservation and natural resources management, sustainability science, geographic information science, market research, locational analysis, population studies, foreign aid, international diplomacy, and education.
