Courses
The Department of Geography offers courses concerned with broad-ranging understandings of humans as inhabitants, observers and transformers of their environments. Gaining such perspectives involves study of the interrelations between interlocking systems of the natural environment, especially climate, landforms, oceans, biota and the evaluation of natural resources; diverse historical, cultural, social, economic and political structures and processes that affect the location and spatial organization of population groups and their activities in distinct geographical units, especially cities and regions, nations, states and landscapes; the study of place through perspectives on difference, including race, gender, class, sexuality and the postmodern condition; and the mapping and representation of earth surface features and resource management policies through study of geographic information science. Many courses meet general education requirements, and various programs are offered for both majors and non-majors. The department fosters close working relationships among students and faculty.
