Classes in Geography were offered when the Los Angeles State Normal School opened its
doors in 1882; thirteen years later in 1895, the Geography Department was formally
established as an academic unit. Prior to 1919, when the Los Angeles State of California
system the Geography Department was primarily concerned with the training of secondary
school teachers. After 1920 more emphasis was placed on training of researchers and
preparing students for graduate studies. Graduate courses leading to the M.A. degree were
added to the department's curriculum in 1934-35, and the Ph.D. program was added in
1948-49.
