professors! I have had so many
fond memories of my work and am
truly proud of what I accomplished
in the geography program at
Keene State College.”

Geography Major was the sense of
belonging to a small family. The
professors cared about all of us and
pushed us to do our best. They devoted
extra time to clarify and explain topics
which I did not fully comprehend... ”

the undergraduate program is one
of the best in the Northeast…”
