Brief introduction of the School of Geographic Sciences

The School of Geographic Sciences of Hunan Normal University originated from the Department of History and Geography of the National Normal College which founded in 1938. After an extraordinary process of more than 80 years of starting its own business, struggling to move forward and making rapid progress, the school has now become the geographic talent cultivation and scientific research base of Hunan Province with the longest history of school running, the most complete talent education system, the highest education level, and the strongest academic research strength and social service ability, which has obvious comprehensive advantages and distinct school-running characteristics.

At present, the school consists of four departments of Geographical Science, Geographic Information Engineering, Urban-rural Planning and Land Science, and has build the Institute of Resources and Environment, the Institute of Land Research, the Research Center of Geographic Information System and Research Center of Regional Economic and Social Development.The schoolhas four undergraduate majors, including Geographical Science, Human Geography and Urban-Rural Planning, Geographic Information Science and Land Resource Management. Among them, Geographical Science, Human Geography and Urban-Rural Planning and Land Resource Management are enrolled by the national first-class undergraduate major construction program, Geographic Information Science is enrolled by the provincial first-class undergraduate major construction program, and Geography Science is one of the first-batch of majors in Hunan Province that passed the second-level certification of normal major by the Ministry of Education of China.
