The University of Texas Department of Geography and the Environment

In-VINCE-able!!!! Need I say more? What a season and what a game! Good job Longhorns!! You are the National Champions of college football!!!! You made a fellow Austinite proud last night.

I felt it was only appropriate to talk about the University of Texas Department of Geography and the Environment today. For 55 years the Department of Geography and the Environment has provided multiple perspectives and tools to understand the relationships between people and their environments, analyze diverse cultural landscapes, and solve problems related to local and global change. The Department's faculty has had an outstanding record of research and publication; indeed, a recent survey in The Professional Geographer found the faculty's book publication productivity to be the highest of any geography department in the nation. The department offers the best undergraduate geography program in Texas according to Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges. UT Geography offers an integrated approach to Geographic Information Science (GISc) research and teaching that provides technical skills while maintaining the institutional priority of quality research. GISc refers to the integration of two components: scientific theory and information systems. So if you are interested in furthering your education with a bachelors, masters or doctorate and want to live in a great City check out the University of Texas Department of Geography and the Environment at http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/geography/.
