The Bachelor of Science in Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland College Park provides extensive training in understanding both human and natural systems. Students explore interactions between people and their environments, study the effects of ecosystems on human societies, and consider the impacts of global issues such as climate change, resource competition, and urbanization. The program emphasizes synthesis from several geographic sub-disciplines—including physical, human, and technical geography—and strong training in geospatial data science and spatial analytics, preparing students for roles in research, policy, planning, and environmental management. Graduates gain a thorough understanding of physical processes, distribution of landforms and ecosystems, the societal impacts of environmental change, and advanced technical GIS skills.
