The Department of Geography offers both graduate and undergraduate
programs of study in four primary areas: Urban and Regional Studies;
Spatial Analysis Methods; Atmospheric and Climatic Studies; and
People, Society, and Environment.
To find out more about undergraduate or graduate level
programs in these areas of specialization, follow the links below
and then select undergraduate or graduate curriculum options.
A graphical representation of the curriculum can be found here.
- Urban and Regional Studies -
A long-standing specialty at Ohio State, covering such topics
as the dynamics of regional change, urban growth and decline,
metropolitan land use, population change, urban politics,
and local economic development.
- Spatial Analysis Methods -
The primary focus of this concentration is on the issues of methods
and their appropriate application to theoretical and substantive
questions, including statistical and mathematical modeling,
analytical cartography, and geographic information systems.
- Atmospheric and Climatic Studies
- First established as the geographic study of climatology in
the early 1920s, this concentration includes the study of
atmospheric behavior on a variety of time and space-scales,
including boundary-layer climates, polar research, tropical
meteorology, synoptic studies, and climate variability.
- People, Society, and Environment - This
new concentration spans the social and natural sciences to investigate
a range of human-environment dynamics, including resource use
and management, rural livelihoods, land use/land cover change,
conservation, the political economy of nature, environmental
history, and food systems of the global north and south.
- The Departmental Graduate Program
- Each graduate student in the Department of Geography must fulfill
the core requirements listed here, regardless of specialization.
Please be aware that these requirements are subject to change
and the definitive version which appears in the Department of
Geography Graduate Manual may not match this page
- Geospatial Data and Analysis Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization -
Ohio State offers graduate students access to interdisciplinary study through a number of specializations. The Geospatial and Data Analysis (GSDA) interdisciplinary specialization receives direct support from a number of Geography Department faculty.
