Courses

Geography professors offer exciting courses on a range of important issues like sustainability, global climate change, industrialization, globalization, resource management, agricultural change, urbanization, land use, deforestation, and hydrology. Geographers emphasize the study of space, place, pattern, and scale within these interconnected topics.

Geographers encourage students to explore the Earth’s human and natural processes through critical thinking, spatial theory, and geospatial technology. Our classes stress experiential learning. Natural science courses feature field laboratory components that clarify the complexities of the Earth. Participatory social science and humanities classes focus on how humans interact with their surroundings and each other. Theories of space, place, landscape, connectivity, and scale deconstruct processes at the macro, meso, and micro levels, helping students understand global connections.

Students will learn advanced geospatial techniques, including Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Science (GISc), and location intelligence, to prepare them for exciting employment and research opportunities in many different fields across the globe.
