Welcome to the Department of Geography and Geology at The University of Southern Mississippi. From here you can learn more about our programs and people. Our name has recently changed. In the summer of 2005, the Mississippi Institutes of Higher Learning approved the merger of Geography and Geology. The department now offers a variety of options towards Baccalaureate and Master’s degrees in Geology and Geography; as well as a newly approved doctoral program in Geography. Our programs strive to meet the diverse needs of our students.

We are located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in the heart of the Pine Belt and are about 70 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. In addition we also have faculty and research staff at our Gulf Park Campus in Long Beach and at Stennis Space Center. Our location provides students an ideal setting for research, field work, and academic study. Hattiesburg is listed as one of the top historically developed cities in Mississippi, and Southern Miss is ranked as a Carnegie Foundation Research Intensive University and Class 1 Southern Regional Educational Board Institution. Please contact us should you have questions or simply want to know more about our programs and careers in Geography and Geology.
