Ringkasan program

The Department of Geography provides a comprehensive program that reflects the discipline’s three main areas – human geography, physical geography, and spatial analysis. The department’s courses allow students to explore the linkages between human activities and natural systems. Students taking geography courses should develop factual knowledge, critical thinking, and analytic skills. Training in geography allows students to know where things are located, why they are located where they are, how and why places differ, how human activity shapes and is shaped by the natural environment, and how to analyze humanenvironment interactions. Students who have an overall GPA of 3.20 may elect to participate in an enrichment program that involves the successful completion of Geography 497 and 498 (Honors: Senior Thesis) under the direction of a faculty mentor. An approved written copy of the thesis must be submitted to the Department of Geography.
