Advisement for the major is available from the Geography and Geosciences Department
Geography, B.S. Geographic Information Science Track Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
While geography majors must satisfy departmental requirements, they are also encouraged to develop a program suitable to their individual needs. The department has six designated tracks/concentrations: general geography, climatology, meteorology, physical geography, geographic information science, and human geography. Each option is designed to provide flexible, yet directed preparation toward specific employment opportunities as well as appropriate background for related graduate work. Students seeking guidance about the tracks/concentrations, graduate study or career programs should see a departmental advisor.
The Geographic Information Science Track is focused on developing an understanding of the theory and application of spatial data management techniques, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and cartography.
