地理文学学士学位

地理学是空间科学。地理学家询问事物在地球表面上的位置，为什么它们位于它们的位置，位置如何彼此不同以及人们如何与环境互动。地理将社会科学和自然科学联系在一起，研究人类活动与自然系统之间的关系。在Western学习地理的学生可以选择环境科学和环境研究部门的课程来满足主要要求。强烈建议准地理专业的学生参加额外的预备课程，这些课程应具有化学，生物学，地质学，物理学，数学，统计学，政治学，人类学和/或历史的强大背景。
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the Earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment. Geography links the social sciences and natural sciences together, studying the relationships between human activity and natural systems.<br><br>As a geographer, you can make a difference - from teaching to planning, from working for sustainable development to working with geospatial technologies, and more. Graduates of this major have assumed positions in State and National Parks, the Forest Service, college and universities, non-profit organizations, and the private sector. If you are interested in teaching Geography in public schools, see the Geography/Social Studies, BA or B.A.Ed. Geography/Elementary Education information sheet.
