- Geography is about place and space. It studies the interdependence among regions, natural systems, physical features, society, and cultural activities.
- Using a perspective, it aims to form a coherent understanding of Earth and its environments and physical landscapes using technologies such as aerial photographs, satellite imagery, geographic information systems, as well as extensive field work and surveys.
- Geography students will learn by doing, rather than just reading. Many of the core courses have strong field and lab components, giving students practical experiences to develop skills that will make them attractive candidates for future employers.
