The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Texas State stands among the nation's largest undergraduate programs in this field. Their bachelor's program features diverse study options, allowing students to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. These curricula equip students with knowledge about their surrounding world while cultivating critical thinking abilities to analyze and address practical challenges. The B.A. program mandates at least 30 credit hours in Geography and Environmental Studies, whereas the B.S. requires 36 credit hours. Students can apply up to two extra Geography and Environmental Studies courses toward their major. All majors must complete a minor, ideally chosen with guidance from an academic advisor.
Both the B.A. and B.S. Geography majors offer adaptable pathways for students pursuing specialized careers or advanced studies. Those selecting this major benefit greatly from collaborating with faculty experts in their particular area of focus.
