About the Program

Frostburg State is uniquely suited to offer you a great geography program, reinforced with in-the-field projects, experience with the tools of the discipline and adventures out into the geologically rich mountains and diverse communities of Western Maryland. At FSU, you will use critical thinking, inquiry and observation skills to better understand our planet's diverse human and natural systems.

Geography is the academic discipline which explains "the why of where." You will be able to map phenomena on Earth and develop evidence-based explanations for why such patterns exist. With our faculty scholars, you will explore such questions as -- how and why do places differ? What processes formed the physical, cultural and biological landscapes around us? What are the consequences of various human interactions with the natural environment? You will explore the answers to these questions on local, regional, national and global scales.
