Geography, Applied (BS)
This program was approved for students entering the university in the Summer 2021–Spring 2022 catalog year. For more information about catalog year, go to Catalog Year Information.
Bachelor of Science in Applied Geography
Unit: College of Arts and Sciences (AS)
Department: Geographic and Environmental Sciences
Academic Plan Code(s): See Track Requirements tab
Program Information
Geographers investigate the character and possible associations between a subject and its environment. The Department of Geographic and Environmental Sciences educates students to view the world in a spatial and time-dependent context to determine relationships between people and their immediate and global environment.
The department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in four different concentrations:
- Environmental Analysis: designed for students who are interested in the environment and environmental sustainability.
- Geospatial Technologies: designed for students who are interested in developing geospatial technologies like GIS and remote sensing.
- Human and Cultural Dynamics: designed for students interested in the forces that shape human environments like population trends, sustainable development, ethnic and racial segregation, globalization and geopolitics.
- Meteorology: designed for students interested in operational meteorology and meets NOAA requirements to work for the National Weather Service.
- Urban Analysis: designed for students interested in the various processes that shape urban environments.
Completion of this degree requires work to be submitted for the department’s Learning Outcomes Measurement. For details, contact the department.
