| Become a Geography Major |
| Majors earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Geography and Environmental Resources study the dynamic relationship between nature and society with an emphasis on spatial analysis or environmental management. |
| Courses |
| Courses are taught by PhD-holding faculty with excellent national and international reputations in their fields. GIS/RS courses have labs to provide students with more personal attention from outstanding graduate students. Course sizes are small, 400-level classes have an average of 11 students per class. |
| Specializations |
| Students choose among three concentrations focusing on different aspects of geography and environmental resources; environmental management, geographic information science (GIS), and climate and water resources. A foundation of core courses help students develop the analytic and research skills appropriate to their research interest. |
| Advisement & Mentoring in Geography |
