In either degree program, geography students develop a solid understanding of how natural and human systems function both independently and through their interaction. We offer courses that teach you how land forms and changes, how the global food system functions, how ancient landscapes in the Middle East used to look, and how the earth system operates and is changing through human impacts on the environment and feedbacks that such changes cause.
What makes geography different from other majors is that geographers get out in the world and do things. We call this field work. And our students get to take part in regular field work as part of their education at CSUSM. They gain hands-on experiences and take classes featuring high impact projects that will allow them to participate in student research events such as the annual CSUSM research symposium and hands-on learning activities like actual farming on our campus and actual wildlife tracking out in Northern San Diego County. Students develop core skills in GIS, writing, spatial analysis and public speaking because geographers don't just look at the world, they explain how the world is changing to a broad audience of scholars, policy makers and the general public

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
