Geography Minor

A minor in Geography will serve students who wish to add an interdisciplinary perspective to their plans of study. The minor course of study enhances students’ understanding of: how the processes of human and physical systems have arranged and sometimes changed the surface of the Earth, the spatial organization of society, and spatial distribution at all scales-local and worldwide-in order to understand the complex connectivity of people and places. Earning a minor in Geography also enables students to make sensible judgments about issues involving relationships between the physical environment and society. Finally, the minor in Geography is designed to foster a greater order to become a better global citizen.

Students must complete 15 hours as indicated. All courses for minor credit must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
