Department of Geography and Earth Sciences
The mission of the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences is to enhance the intellectual, character, and military development of all cadets within the context of a core course in physical geography, three distinct majors, and a diverse offering of elective courses all while supporting the continued development of faculty and staff.
It takes a team to ensure the U.S. Military Academy at West Point can fulfill its mission to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. There are roles for military and civilian faculty to teach cadets and for those both in and out of uniform to ensure the systems and processes required to operate a military installation and college campus are in place and running efficiently.
