Geography

Welcome to the Santa Ana College Geography and the Environment Program! Geography is more than maps, it is about understanding the relationships between people, places, and the environment. Our courses combine classroom learning with practical skills preparing you for transfer and a wide range of careers. Whether your passion is environmental sustainability, urban planning, or cultural studies, we are here to help you succeed and see the world through a geographer’s lens.

 

The Geography and the Environment Department at Santa Ana College explores the dynamic connections between people, places, and the planet. Our program blends physical geography, human geography, and environmental studies, giving students the tools to analyze complex issues from climate change to human settlement patters. With supportive faculty and hands-on learning opportunities, students gain valuable skills for transfer and careers in environmental science, regional development, education, and more.
