地理计划的主要任务是向UTSA学生介绍现代学术地理的实质和方法，并使他们参与本地，区域和国际社会。地理学院很乐意为我们的专业提供成功开展相关职业和竞争性研究生课程所必需的基础，并提供有意义的课程，以使学生对日益复杂，分散和不断缩小的世界的欣赏产生有意义的贡献。我们的四位终身制教师在文化和社会地理及GIS方面的专业知识为学生提供了探索地理概念的机会，并在北美，拉丁美洲，欧洲和亚洲等不同地区提供了相关机会。此外，除了GIS和城市地理学之外，我们还会定期聘请专门从事自然和环境地理学的兼职教授，为我们的文学士学生
Geography is a unique discipline that brings together the social and natural sciences by studying humanity and the way it interacts with the physical features of the earth. If you think working with maps, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and online mapping resources like Google Earth might be interesting, then you may want to study Geography and Environmental Sustainability.<br>UTSA's Geography and Environmental Sustainability degree will introduce you to modern academic geography and help you get involved in the local, regional and international community. Youll learn about the physics of climate change, the interaction of weather events and flood risk, and the way people's behavior is influenced by the space around them. You can also choose a concentration in Social Studies. Concentrations are declared after youve been admitted and have met with your academic advisor.<br>This program will prepare you for a career as a geographer, where youll work to transform maps from a two-dimensional representation of a tool that illustrates social attributes or attitudes to reveal not just where people live, but how they live and what they think.<br>As part of the College of Liberal and Fine Arts Signature Experience, which seeks to offer students opportunities to apply ideas and knowledge in real-world settings, the Department encourages students to enroll in mentorship courses such as an Internship, Independent Study, Study Abroad, and Research Practicum. Majors may apply 3 or 6 semester credit hours of internship study to their baccalaureate program. Internships entail supervised workplace experience, allowing the integration of academic and practitioner learning. The internship coordinator of the Department of Political Science and Geography oversees placement. Department faculty members provide supervision and grade internship performance. Further information can be obtained from the internship coordinator.
