The mission of the faculty of the Geographic Science Program at JMU is to help students realize their abilities as geographers by focusing on the role of human beings in their relationship with the earth and with one another. Our goal is to provide students with the intellectual and technical skills to synthesize information, become critical thinkers, and develop into more informed citizens, so they can have successful and rewarding careers. Through scholarship, teaching and service, the faculty in the Geographic Sciences Program are dedicated to bettering our community, nation and world. Goals: Through the study of geography, students will: Understand and properly use the terminology and concepts that are central to the discipline of geography, and explain how these concepts evolved over time. Use effective, appropriate geospatial technologies to address questions about human interactions within the built or natural environments. Be productive participants in research efforts aimed at measuring, describing, analyzing and explaining the underlying processes giving rise to geographic phenomena. Work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Evaluate human-environment interactions from a holistic point of view that addresses geographic, as well as political, social, economic and ethical, factors affecting those interactions. Demonstrate civic responsibility and appreciation for culture and physical diversity from local to global scales. Career Opportunities: The geography major is divided into two concentration areas. Each of these offers a unique set of career opportunities. Applied Geographic Information Science (AGIS) Concentration: JMU Geographic Science graduates with an AGIS concentration are prepared to gain professional employment with government and industry or go on to graduate programs. Public agencies where they find employment include local and regional planning agencies, mapping organizations such as the U.S. Geological Survey, intelligence agencies such as the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and, also in the environmental science field with the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies. JMU AGIS graduates find opportunities in industry with companies such as ESRI, Digital Global, Lockheed, BAE Systems, Astrium, SAIC, Sanborn and many others.
