The Department currently has about 200 majors spread among our degree programs in Geography, Environmental & Sustainability Studies, Geographic Information Science, and Community and Environmental Planning, and the 4+1 program combining Environmental & Sustainability Studies with the Master's in Business Administration.

The Department of Geography Planning & Sustainability is located on the third floor of Robinson Hall.
