Advising for
Geography Majors
![]()
The Geography Department maintains an
advising office staffed by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Joseph M. Cirrincione and graduate
student advisors. The advising office staff can help you decide if one of the
specializations in Geography is right for you. They also advise Geography
majors every semester regarding coursework requirements, internships and career
opportunities. The advising office is open for walk-in advising five days a
week although the hours vary from semester to semester (see below for current
schedule). The office is located in 2108 LeFrak Hall. You can contact the
advisors by phone at (301) 405-4073 or by e-mail. The advising office also
holds a career/internship fair
each semester in conjunction with the University of Maryland Career Center.
Ronald Luna
and Jennifer Pomeroy are the current
graduate students who staff the Geography Advising Office. They will be happy
to answer your questions regarding the two specializations (Geography and GIS)
as well as the Minor in GIS offered in the Geography Department. Be sure to
check the Information Brochures page
for PDF documents about the programs in Geography, curriculum worksheets, and
other useful advising documents.
We offer students a two tiered advising
system: (1) curriculum advising in the Geography Advising Office and (2)
faculty mentoring with an assigned faculty member. For more information about
the advising system, read up on the Geography Advising Guidelines
or check with the advisors in the Advising Office. Before you meet with a
faculty mentor, be sure to download and fill out the faculty mentoring form.
