The B.A. in geography can be earned through evening classes. The Department of Geography and Planning is located in Ruby Jones Hall, a charming, stately building on the corner of Church Street and University Avenue. Facilities and classrooms also are located in Anderson Hall. Strong emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary cooperation and research, including GIS applications in the fields of environmental and health sciences, urban and regional planning, and business management and marketing. Qualified junior or senior students who desire to do so usually have internship placements, many of them paid.
Internships also are available to graduate students.
Geography and planning students have participated in student exchange programs in the United States and abroad. A complete listing of faculty and their academic qualifications for this program can be obtained from the contact person listed below.
