BA/BS in Geography and Cartography

Geography connects the social and physical sciences to study how people shape and are shaped by their surroundings. Students look at urban growth, habitat loss, storm damage, fisheries, transport, energy and agriculture. The discipline is framed around place and space, asking where things are, why they are there and how to map them. Students can pursue a BS or a BA. Classes meet in person on the Tallahassee campus, and the major is not available online. Prospective students can use the university's academic program guide to review prerequisite coursework, major requirements and advising contacts for this degree. Applicants should confirm current admission steps and timelines with the department before applying. Meeting an advisor early helps students plan courses that satisfy both general education and major expectations.
