The Geography Major focuses on the interaction of human and physical environments within a spatial context. Individual programs are formed around major geographic problems and world regions. Geography Major Requirements may be completed in one of two ways, each of which requires successful completion of at least24 credits in geography. The small size of the Geography Department coupled with our professional cartographic and computer facilities enable us to present a flexible program tailored to the needs and interests of the individual student. To maintain our personal approach, we havedevised several options for majors and minors, encourage participation in a variety of other programs including Honors, Peace and Justice, and The City.
Internships designed to complement a student'sprofessional interests are also available.
Training in Geography opens opportunities for employment in business, industry, government, as well as continuation in graduate and professional schools. Many students with a BA or BS with a concentration in Geography go on to complete Masters and Doctorates in Geography.
