地理文学学士学位

地理学家研究地球与人类和自然过程相关的物质和符号转换。与当代全球文化，环境，政治和经济学的变化保持一致，地理学科的边界是动态的。达特茅斯学院是常春藤联盟中唯一的地理系，达特茅斯的学生将地理学作为自然科学和社会科学进行学习。人文地理学（社会科学）尤其与政治，经济，社会，文化进程和资源实践有关，这些过程为特定地点定义并受其影响。自然地理学（自然科学）专注于创造自然环境的地球系统，例如天气，土壤，生物地理学和地球雕刻过程。达特茅斯的地理课程解决了这些关键问题。
The Geography Major consists of ten courses spread across five categories: introductory, methods, breadth, depth, and culminating experience. Introductory courses provide an overview of the field of geography, and ground students in the fundamentals of geography. Methods courses impart the qualitative and quantitative tools that geographers use to explore people and environment in space. Breadth courses expose students to the diversity of geography as a discipline. Depth courses allow students to more substantively engage an area of interest. Finally, the culminating experience synthesizes students' knowledge of geography through deep discussions of key and current literature in a seminar format. The Department of Geography also offers a Geography Minor, a Geography Major Modified, Major Modification with Geography, an Urban Studies Minor, and a Climate Change Science Minor.
