Presentation transcript:

Major Academic Plan (MAP) Why study geography? Geography is the core environmental discipline: it is the study of the physical and human environments of our planet and the ways that they interact. Geography combines social and natural science methods and knowledge to help us understand the complex problems facing businesses, government agencies, and community organizations. Geographers are uniquely qualified to investigate issues involving competing land use, complex land management problems, and integrated natural resource development. While geographers gain exposure to all aspects of the discipline, typically students will concentrate on either human geography or physical geography for their degree, and specialize in sub-fields such as GIS and wetlands science.
