Thinking about a Career in Geography?
Start by declaring a MAJOR or MINOR with our
Department
Geography is the study of how people in different
places relate to their environment, and how
their environment shapes their lives. A major
in geography
provides background for students seeking a
broad understanding of the world’s environment,
and how people have adapted to, changed, and
organized their physical environment.
The major offers a unique perspective for analyzing
issues related to human life and the natural
physical world. This perspective is based on
study of
spatial patterns (what & where), and processes (how & why). It may
be applied at all levels: global, regional, and local. Geography draw knowledge
from related fields, such as Anthropology, Economics, Political Science,
Biology among others.
To register as a Geography major or minor, please contact the Geography Department
Undergraduate Advisors to discuss your options, and fill out the required
paper work.
