BA in Geography and Environmental Studies

The Department of Geography and Environmental Systems offers programs of study in environmental science, cartography, environmental studies, geographic information systems, environmental geography and teaching. Geography and environmental systems traditionally encompasses the study of spatial patterns in both the natural and cultural environment. The dynamic and interdisciplinary character of the field is becoming increasingly relevant for a range of societal and environmental problems, including urban and suburban economic development, poverty and crime, human health, water resources and quality, land and soil resources, biodiversity and habitat loss and climate change.
