Geography affords students the opportunity to study the interactions between humans and the environment through the study of spatial variation
In addition to the Geo-Environmental Studies major, the department is home to minors in Geology, Geography, and Sustainability, as well as the Geospatial Technologies Certificate. Each of these allows students from majors across campus to gain an additional specialization in one of these areas in order to bolster their knowledge as well as their job prospects.
