GeoDesign majors are never confined to the classroom. Whether in a state-of-the-art graphics studio, an interactive research lab, or offsite geography course, GeoDesign majors benefit by working closely with faculty on important study and research.
Venture even further afield by conducting primary research over the summer with world-renowned experts and faculty in international locations. Apply urban planning, geospatial technologies and environmental design principles from abroad to address a Los Angeles-area societal challenge.
GeoDesign majors have presented their geography studies and other research at numerous conferences around the country tacking topics such as:
light pollution affecting wildlife, the human experience, and astronomical observations throughout the US National Park System; spatial aspects of adapting to climate change and the specific risks for cities in the US and around the world; spatial inequities in access to water throughout Greater LA; spatial complexities and institutional racism in City of Los Angeles hospital facilities; 3D visualization of building exteriors and interiors to generate real-time routes for emergency responder, disability access, strategic planning, and other essential services; and spatial inequities in those eligible for and utilizing the Cal-Fresh Benefits program. Be among the first. Our unique academic collaboration and combination of approaches from architecture, planning, and geospatial science, make the USC B.S. in GeoDesign the first undergraduate interdisciplinary program of its kind.
