When you think about ‘geography’ many students think back to making world maps in middle school social studies; but geography is so much more!
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the use of geographic information technologies and data to answer environmental and societal questions is driving the job market for geographers at a rate that is almost twice that of all other occupations. Geographers examine the physical and social processes that help explain why features on the earth’s surface are located where they are, how people interact with their environment, and what makes one place different from another. In early coursework, majors examine the physical properties of the natural environment (water, climate, landforms and vegetation) and the role that human beliefs, activities and decision-making has in shaping the world around us. Upper level coursework in a selected core area of geography deepens students’ understandings of important environmental and social issues. Thus majors will explore interconnections among climate change, vegetation, environmental degradation, agricultural systems, geopolitical decision-making, human migration and settlement. Coursework in research design, data collection and data analysis allows our graduates to share marketable skills (such as geographical information systems (GIS), fieldwork, interviewing or computer modeling) and their unique perspective of the world with potential employers.
