Department of Geography

.

Globe outside Geography Department office in Sierra Hall (Room 150)The Geography Department at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) is making an effort to better understand the circumstances under which our students decide to become majors so that we may better serve them.

To this end we have developed this very short survey so that we may better understand:

1. The source points of our geography majors.

2. The logic that propelled students to become geography majors.

3. How we might leverage this knowledge to attract additional geography majors so that the major program will function most efficiently.
