Geography

Geography studies how physical, biological, and human processes shape the landscape in which we live and cause regions to differ from each other. Learn more »

Geospatial applications

Geospatial applications involves the ability to integrate geography (maps) and information (data) and then access, manipulate and utilize the results via systems (computers). Learn more »

Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Geology and Meteorology are the fields in this concentration. Students gain knowledge to relate the Earth's dynamic processes to its composition, structure, and surface features.
