地理教育文学学士-基础

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。西方的地理基础课程旨在为希望在公立学校系统中攻读地理专业的专业教师提供必要的社会科学和自然科学深度和广度。初级地理课程满足了对教师资格证书的学术专业要求，并获得了基础教育的认可，并且必须随附基础教育的专业准备课程。
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>Students studying Geography at Western choose courses from both the environmental science and environmental studies departments to fulfill major requirements. Prospective Geography majors are strongly advised to take additional preparatory course work that provides a strong background in chemistry, biology, geology, physics, mathematics, statistics, political science, anthropology, and/or history.
