The Department of Geography and Anthropology is a student-centered department of excellence committed to fulfilling the mission of Kennesaw State University. We empower students to understand the human condition, to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and to become informed global citizens by cultivating a welcoming environment that encourages active and participatory teaching and learning. Our academic programs enrich students with a holistic curriculum and robust extracurricular experiences that prepare them to understand and engage the world's intersecting human, cultural, and physical systems. Geography seeks to study and understand the distribution, dynamics, and interrelationships between humans and their physical environment. Geospatial Sciences applies geospatial technologies to analyze the spatial processes produced or modified by human-environment interactions. Anthropology examines human experiences fully appreciating the biological and cultural power of a variety of perspectives. The Department is committed to conducting high quality research reflecting faculty expertise in a collaborative manner and incorporating robust student mentorship. Innovative research within the Department includes sustainability and environmental studies, application of geospatial technologies, land surveying, lifeways and livelihoods, forensic science, heritage and resource management, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Department faculty design and deliver high quality pedagogy that promotes student success through undergraduate research, internships and work experiences, and service-learning and community engagement. The Department is committed to providing students with the knowledge, creativity, and career skills necessary to become productive global citizens.
