Overview

The study of Geography is concerned with the Earth's surface in two ways - as the science of interaction between natural elements of the environment, such as weather, plants, soils and landforms; and secondly, as the science of the distribution and activities of the Earth's population in response to various social and environmental factors.

Systematic studies in Geography examine the locations, distributions, arrangement, and association of a group of interrelated features. In contrast, regional studies examine the totality of geographic phenomena in a particular area.

No matter what approach is taken, there are certain skills and techniques that are of particular geographic relevance.

Why study Geography?

Anyone with a natural curiosity about the world around them will find Geography an attractive Major. Those who choose to specialize in one or another of the substreams within the discipline will develop knowledge and skills that are applicable to a number of careers or provide a good basis for entry into more advanced training for a number of professions.

Not everyone who studies Geography does so with a career in mind, however. Students in other disciplines frequently take Geography because it provides new insights into their own discipline.

Liberal Arts students with a general major in Geography will acquire a better understanding of many local, national and global issues and an appreciation of the physical and human landscapes they will encounter when they leave university.
