Program Description

The Geography minor equips students with spatial concepts and perspectives examining a range of issues at global, national, and local scales. Geography provides an integrative and interdisciplinary framework that combines analysis of human and physical environments and incorporates use of the latest technologies and applications, including remotely sensed data, Geographic Information systems/Science (GIS), and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or drones. Through active local, regional, and global learning opportunities—including online course options, field trips, numerous study abroad opportunities, and hands-on faculty-student research—the geography minor prepares students with geographic knowledge and skills for twenty-first century careers in the public and private sectors and advanced graduate education. Ultimately, the geography minor seeks to positively transform our students into responsible and effective stewards of the local and global communities and environments in which they live and work.
