Key Summary

    About : The Bachelor of Science in Geography offers students a comprehensive understanding of physical and human geography. The curriculum emphasizes real-world applications and fieldwork experiences that enhance learning. Students will explore topics such as environmental management, urban planning, and GIS technology.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in various fields, including urban and regional planning, environmental consultancy, and geospatial intelligence. Opportunities also exist in governmental agencies and non-profit organizations focused on sustainability and community development.

The geography program at RMC integrates a human geography perspective rooted in historical political ecology, economic geography, and development geography; geological and environmental science perspectives on landforms, climate, water, soils, vegetation, and ecosystems; and geographic information systems (GIS) training and practice in a way that fosters student engagement with the multifaceted character of development, conservation, and planning problems.

Through interdisciplinary courses, unique field-work, service-learning, and internship opportunities in the Yellowstone River watershed (and beyond), students learn to use appropriate theoretical frameworks, research techniques, and technology — including spatial statistics, cartography, GIS and GPS, and remote sensing — to extract, analyze, and communicate information about socio-environmental topics from a spatial perspective.
