The Geography Department empowers students to address several contemporary problems such as physical resource development, racial/ethnic patterns, urban decay, business geography, and pollution. The curriculum helps students better understand how natural and human environments become organized geographically by institutional decisions and the consequences of human actions.
Internships, Research Opportunities, and More
Students can earn internship credits and independent study credits.
Geography majors with an overall 3.0 GPA and 3.3 GPA in geography can pursue honors in geography. Students must submit a report based on a project in their final year. The project can be based on an original research topic, an extension of an internship, or an extension of a previous class project.
Students who wish to participate in an internship and who have previously been convicted of a felony are advised that they will be asked about their prior criminal history. This may impede your ability to participate in certain internships. Students who have concerns about such matters, or are looking for additional information, are advised to contact the dean's office of their intended academic program.
