Clark University, Clark University, is an old university in Massachusetts. Geography is the trump card major, and the strongest is physical geography. At the same time, it is not weak in GIS and human geography. Moreover, they attach importance to the cross-cutting contents of geography, geophysics, atmospheric science, environmental science and other related disciplines, which is relatively rare. Generally speaking, they are also one of the best geography departments in America.
Penn State University, Penn State University, Department of Geography is one of their trump cards. They are good at GIS, natural resources geography and historical geography. The main direction of GIS is spatial analysis (especially the analysis combined with human behavior), cartography and geographic data visualization. The legendary map god Brewer is there.
University of Wisconsin-Madison, the university of Wisconsin-Madison, the school's GIS also pays more attention to visualization and mapping, and the famous Robinson projection comes from this department. In addition to GIS, the style of the whole department is a little more humanistic, such as attaching importance to the application of geography in history, humanities, archaeology and anthropology. But the physical geography project is not bad either. There is a limnology research center, but few students from China are admitted. There are also projects to study climate change, which have close cooperation with the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department of Atmospheric Ocean.
Michigan State University Michigan State University, which is especially good at agricultural geography and environmental resources geography. After all, this university is the first state-owned land-grant universities in the United States, starting from the Agricultural College.
Ohio State University Ohio State University, its strong direction is mainly in spatial analysis and geostatistics. This is basically the hottest branch of geography at present. It can be combined with big data and can cross with statistics, computer visualization, economics, policy, anthropology and history.
UCLA is strong in ecological geography and human geography, but there are few GIS projects.
The University of Minnesota belongs to the Department of Geography, and its comprehensive strength is average, showing no weakness in all directions, showing an upward trend in recent years.
University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Colorado at Boulder, as above, belongs to the department of comprehensive geography, with outstanding environmental direction and many cross-cutting projects with geology. After all, the headquarters of USGS is there. The direction of GIS is slightly weak.
University of Kentucky University of Kentucky ditto, comprehensive and balanced, no shortcomings.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a good major in physical geography, and is good at the application of GIS in disease prevention and environmental pollution, as well as traditional spatial analysis.
University of California, Berkeley, a prestigious university, although generally speaking, this university feels more inclined to science and engineering, but the geography department is very biased, which is one of the flagships of human geography and one of the origins of modern human geography.
Boston University, once a banner of American geography, is not bad, although its strength has declined, especially in human geography and remote sensing.
The State University of New York at Buffalo is an old school in the field of GIS, especially good at the application of GIS in public health and epidemic prevention of infectious diseases. There are many people in China.
University of Maryland University of Maryland, in addition to the sweet air, the remote sensing of this university is quite good, if not the first in the United States, at least it is in the top three. In addition to remote sensing, GIS and ocean have also made great achievements, but there are few humanistic contents.
San Diego State University San Diego State University, majoring in spatial analysis and econometric geography. It seems that there used to be a cross project with Santa Barbara. I don't know if there are any more.
Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins University, belongs to the only ancient and orthodox geography department. GIS is not very strong, mainly in the direction of humanity and nature.
Arizona State University Arizona State University, GIS is very good and has a good development momentum, especially spatial analysis. In addition, the physical geography is not bad, especially in the direction of desert climate.
University of Georgia, University of Georgia, another school specializing in remote sensing.
Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University, the school itself is not so good, but the geography department is quite famous.
George Mei Sen University and George Mei Sen University, which are easily overlooked, are good at digital geography and econometric geography.
University of Washington University of Washington (Seattle) has a relatively low-key geography, but its strength cannot be underestimated. GIS, humanities and nature can all rank in the top ten, among which the best is the glacier direction of physical geography, the cooperative project with the Department of Earth Sciences and cartography.
Syracuse University, Syracuse University, good human geography. In physical geography, hydrology and environmental geography are not bad. In addition, cartography has a good reputation traditionally.
University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Austin, all the majors about Geo are quite good, including geography, geology, geophysics and so on. Simply speaking, the geography department is more humanistic, because most of the nature is in the geology department.
University of Texas at Dallas, University of Texas at Dallas, GIS is not bad.
The University of Maine, one of the three famous universities of the University of California's Geographic Information System, prefers GIS development.
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, good at geographic information system and human geography.
University of Iowa University of Iowa is one of the famous geography departments in Central China.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is the second most famous geography department in Central China.
University of Kansas University of Kansas, the third famous geography department in Central China, is good at data visualization and development, and is one of the old and strong schools of cartography.
Iowa State University Iowa State University has some interdisciplinary programs.
University of Oregon University of Oregon, specializing in cartography and data visualization.
Oregon State University Oregon State University, specializing in human geography. At the same time, he is also good at interdisciplinary fields such as GIS and geology, especially ocean and climate, hoping to cultivate all-round talents.
Bauer State University, Bauer State University, mainly engaged in GIS.
University of South Carolina, University of South Carolina, specializing in GIS, network map and spatial analysis.
Ohio University Ohio University has a tendency to compete for the top spot in human geography.
University of Tennessee, University of Tennessee, has developed well recently, with good GIS and physical geography.
University of Cincinnati University of Cincinnati and Anthropology have some cooperation projects.
In addition, if you only consider studying GIS, there are several schools without geography departments to consider, such as the urban design project of the University of Pennsylvania, which has GIS directions below. The environmental project of the University of Virginia, the Earth Environment and Resource Ecology project of the University of Michigan, and the Earth Planetary Science of Columbia University. These are very good universities. Although there is no special geography department, after all, the school itself is very famous and does not lose money.
