Declare Your Minor

You can declare a minor in Geography or GIS at any time. We recommend students to declare as early as possible so that they can get more help from Geography advising in planning their courses.

To declare a Minor in Geography or GIS, you simply click the button below, and fill out and submit the online Declaration of Minor Form,

Declare Your Minor

Geography advisors will receive your declaration request, and will then follow up within 10 business days with the following:

  • A welcome letter that confirms your declaration,
  • An assessment of your progress toward the minor requirements based on your unofficial transcript,
  • If applicable, suggestions of potential substitutions, contacts for in-person or online meeting, and some other resources for the minor requirements,
  • You will be put on the “geog-majors” e-mail list, to receive information about scholarships, internships, and Geography classes and other program information.

If you have any questions or need to meet in-person or online at any time no matter you have declared a minor or not, you can always contact the Geography advisors:
