Geography - San Jose State University

Geography from San Jose State University is a Campus Master Geography degree that prepares you for a Science career. Geography is for explorers, whether their discoveries are a world away or just next door. Our goal is to make sense of how people and the world's environments interact to build the landscapes where we learn, work, and play. Geographers analyze the world with broad and integrative methods, often linking data from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. Geography is the way to understand locations and regions, and it is the way to interpret both the world's incredible diversity and its repetitive similarities. Geographers love maps. Much of geography centers on learning from maps and communicating with maps. Whether a sketch on a napkin or a computer-driven Geographic Information System (GIS), maps tell of locations and regions, routes and pathways, and the directions to both the past and the future. Modern geography , at the junction of globalism, environmentalism, and the innovations in electronic communications technologies, is both exciting and rewarding. The M.A. Program in Geography focuses on Geographic Information Science. Students specialize in geographic information systems development (including design of databases, algorithms, and application software), cartographic visualization (including design of dynamic and interactive mapping systems, especially integrated with GIS), or applications of geographic information technology to geographic analysis and geographic education.
