The world of the 21st century is a place where there are very complex interactions between an increasingly fragile environment
and the people who make up the many varied and diverse cultures on it. Geographers are uniquely trained to "see the big
picture" so that they can more fully understand these complex interactions of the environment and the many cultures of
humankind.
The Geography Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in geography, a minor in geography, a minor in meteorology, and
an interdisciplinary minor in urban studies. The geography course offerings support undergraduate preparation for careers in
environmental study, teaching, weather, regional and urban planning, and preparation for graduate work.
Central to geographic inquiry is a concern with the human occupancy of the earth, the character of the human environment,
and the interrelationships that link humans and the physical world. In sum, geography seeks to provide a broad understanding
of the world, its people, and its problems. Geography seeks to provide applied specializations and technical skills that can
address economic, social, and environmental problems at scales that range from local to global by employing a spatial
framework for organizational purposes analogous to the chronological framework employed in history.
Geography integrates much information from the natural and social sciences and because of the diversity of subject matter
from which it obtains data, offers a broad, liberal education applicable to many fields of employment.
The department offers a variety of courses that allow students to address different objectives. First, we provide, for both
majors and non-majors alike, a greater understanding of the world as an element of a liberal education which has become
an increasingly important component of a complete university education. Second, we provide courses that assure a depth of
knowledge in subject matter and technique for majors and minors in geography. Third, we serve those students in related
disciplines who wish to strengthen programs of study through a selection of courses in geography.
Although there are no options in the degree program, students may select courses that focus on various areas of study.
Examples of such focused study areas could include the following:
