DISCOVER THE WORLD OF GEOGRAPHY! |
|
Geography explores the distribution and interaction of natural and human systems on global, regional, and local scales. Environmental issues involving natural resources, population, political, and economic systems are the subjects of geography, along with practical issues in planning and resource management. Selecting locations or designing optimal development or delivery systems are geographic problems common to business and government around the world. Geographic training in geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial analysis, along with knowledge of patterns and processes inherent in natural and human social systems provides the background necessary to work in the expanding fields of GIS applications and scientific or applied geography.
To prepare students for many rewarding and important career opportunities, the Department of Geography within the the College of Science offers the B.S. Geography with options in physical science and environment, global and regional studies, and GIS.
Geography now has strong programs in GIS, climatology, remote sensing, and economic geography.
A certificate program is offered in GIS and is available in addition to our degree programs. Requirements for this program are listed at http://www.scihome.uidaho.edu/default.aspx?pid=89249.
