Major A major in Geography prepares students for the analysis of location and the interactions of a location with other geographic regions. Human activities are related to earth's physical features and the relative location of cultural and economic activities.
Geographic study focuses on spatial analysis of human and physical features of our planet.
Regions are examined as complex systems of interrelated parts. The application of geographic information to problem solving is emphasized. The choice of sites for human activities such as a business location, a new suburb or town, or industrial activity are typical geographic problems that can be examined with modern computer techniques. The geography major also provides a solid liberal arts background for general education, international studies, and a variety of professional careers including law, planning, and environmental consulting.
