Geography is a discipline that integrates the environmental and social sciences. Geography studies location, places, regions, human-environment interactions, and movement. Its tools include cartography and geographic information systems (GIS). On the job, Geography graduates address social, physical, and environmental problems from the global to the local scale.

Learn essential geospatial skills to help explain our world by analyzing patterns to solve problems. Geography B.A. integrates concepts from physical and social sciences as well as humanities to address current issues of local, national, and international importance. Work closely with instructors on geographic projects in two new GISC labs.

The Geography Department empowers students to address several contemporary problems such as physical resource development, racial/ethnic patterns, urban decay, business geography, and pollution. The curriculum helps students better understand how natural and human environments become organized geographically by institutional decisions and the consequences of human actions.

The Geography, BA is designed to offer students the opportunity to study the integrated social and environmental processes that continuously shape and reshape the world we live in. This major provides students with broad training across the core subdisciplines of geography (human, physical, and GIScience), while also offering the requisite flexibility for those students seeking a multidisciplinary educational experience.

A student interested in law school should pursue an academic background that emphasizes and cultivates reading, writing, and verbal analytical skills along with a study of society from political, economic, cultural, and philosophical perspectives.

Survey the lay of the land. Geography is a practical discipline that studies the distribution and movement of people, things, and ideas across Earth.

Geography is the study of why things happen where they do in a complex, interconnected world. You may focus on areas of specialization: physical geography, human geography, or geographic techniques, including geographic information systems and cartography.Aloha and welcome to the Department of Geography and Environmental Science. The island of Hawaiʻi offers a setting of diverse natural and cultural environments for both geographic and environmental studies. The department offers a comprehensive curriculum with a diverse offering of courses that include field excursions, interdisciplinary course work in the natural and social sciences, and computer-based spatial analysis using GIS and remote sensing.

Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another and how people interact with the environment. This is a discipline that bridges the social sciences and natural sciences and that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cites as a growing career field.

The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies with a Geographic Information Science (GIS) Emphasis is a program designed to equip students with foundational knowledge in environmental issues alongside...

The Geography program (within the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences) offers a BA degree that includes a full range of courses in the fundamentals of geography taught mainly by full-time faculty.

The Department of Earth Sciences (ERTH) (formerly Geology and Geophysics (GG)) is dedicated to the scientific study of the exterior and interior of the Earth and other planetary bodies. Sub-disciplines within the department are many, and offer rich opportunities for multidisciplinary study of problems of great intellectual and practical importance. Coastal geologists study processes such as sedimentation and beach erosion, reef growth and degradation, and sea level change. Hydrologists and Hydrogeochemists study the cycling of fresh water between the atmosphere, land, and ocean.

Earth System Science draws on chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and applied sciences in an effort to understand the chemical, physical, biological and human influences on our planet.

The Bachelor of Arts major in geology requires 36 credits in geology and ancillary sciences. It is a good choice for broadly exploring the liberal arts and want a general liberal arts degree.

The subject matter of geography is diverse. Geographers examine and analyze patterns of rural and urban settlement, resource exploitation, land use, and social and cultural phenomena. They are concerned with the natural features and processes of the earth's surface, the ways in which nature has conditioned the human occupancy of the earth, and the ways in which people have modified natural landscapes.

The Bachelor's in Geography program offers students a comprehensive foundation in understanding the Earth's physical features, natural processes, and spatial relationships. The curriculum covers key a...
