地理科学学士

地理学是对地球表面物理和人类特征分布的科学研究。地理学家试图描述，关联和解释区分世界各地的自然和文化现象。地理学家关注与全球环境有关的“何处”和“为什么”问题。地理学也充当自然科学之间的桥梁，它对现象发生位置的看法使其在学术领域中独树一帜。变化的过程是地理学的基本主题，并且不断强调人类如何改变地球。因此，地理研究受到所有公民的关注，并为毕业生提供了商业，教育和政府领域的众多职业机会。<br> <br>地理课程旨在为学生提供通识教育和集中在主要研究领域。该学院建议，专业应修读与地理学特定领域密切相关的学科课
Geography is the scientific study of the distribution of both physical and human features of the Earth's surface. Geographers seek to describe, relate and explain the natural and cultural phenomena that distinguish places around the world. Geographers focus upon ''where'' and ''why'' questions concerning the global environment. Geography also functions as a bridge between the natural sciences, its perspective on the location of phenomena makes it unique among the academic disciplines. The process of change is a fundamental theme in geography and the examination of how humankind modifies the Earth is a continual emphasis. The study of geography is thus of vital concern to all citizens and provides graduates with numerous career opportunities in business, education, and government.<br><br>The Geography program is designed to provide the student with a general education as well as a concentration in the major field of study. The faculty recommends that majors take several courses in disciplines closely related to their specific area of interest in geography. Those interested in physical geography might register for associated courses in physics, agricultural sciences, botany or other allied disciplines. If one is interested in human geography, course work in sociology, economics, history, political science or foreign language or some other social science might be considered. For technical geography, computer science and mathematics courses are recommended. Qualified students may also enhance their academic experience with participation in the Undergraduate Scholars Program.
