Geography Minor

Geography is a specialized field of study and is basic to a liberal arts education. The Geography Track is concerned with the reality of the human habitat in regional environments; with the ways space is organized for economic, social and political purposes; with the manner in which natural resources are utilized and developed and their uses; and with the relationships between these considerations and public policy. Its sphere is the whole world. 

The Geography minor, a complementary addition to most existing majors that prepares students for a variety of careers and opportunities, requires fifteen (15) credit hours that are chosen from the required course and the elective courses. A student’s program, based on her/his interest(s), should be designed in consultation with a Geography academic adviser. Students interested in this course of study must earn a grade of “C” or higher in all Geography courses.
