地理文学学士学位（自然地理）

地理地理学学士学位，专攻自然地理学，重点研究地球系统及其对人类的影响，包括全球气候变化。对自然科学和环境管理感兴趣的学生研究天气和气候，动植物群落，地貌和水资源，并强调人类在影响和管理这些复杂的相互关联的系统中的作用越来越大。学生使用来自各种来源的定量和定性数据，包括已发布的人口普查和地图，航空影像，野外和实验室工作，调查和访谈。他们使用各种工具，包括全球定位系统（GPS），地理信息系统（GIS）和其他计算机应用程序来收集，显示和分析空间数据。地理专业的学生研究并解决复杂的问题，尤其是那些具有人与环境关系
The Bachelor of Arts in Geography with a concentration in Physical Geography focuses on earth systems and human impacts on them, including global climate change. Students interested in natural science and environmental management study weather and climate, plant and animal communities, landforms, and water resources, emphasizing the growing human role in influencing and managing these complex interrelated systems. Geography students at Sacramento State explore Earth's natural and cultural environments using methods from the natural sciences and the social sciences. They study climate, weather, landforms, water resources, and plants and animals, as well as peoples, societies, economies, and cities. These phenomena overlap in intricate ways, giving rise to distinctive places and regions. Geography's approach emphasizes Earth's spatial relationships and patterns, and the processes that govern them, whether found in nature or in human behavior. <br><br>Students work with quantitative and qualitative data from a variety of sources, including published censuses and maps, aerial imagery, field and lab work, surveys, and interviews. They use a variety of tools, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and other computer applications to collect, display, and analyze spatial data. Geography students study and address complex issues, especially those with a human-environment interface, such as climate change, resource management, urban growth and design, globalization, immigration, ethnic identity, and territorial conflict. Geographical understanding is applied at different scales, from the local to the global, and regional expertise is cultivated.
