在地理系，我们提供动手学习的机会，包括追赶风暴，前往中欧和与教师进行研究的机会。我们还提供最先进的设施，为小一班学生提供小规模的支持环境，尤其是对于大一新生。地理学作为一门科学，以空间方法来理解世界的物理和人类环境及其相互之间的联系而著称。人类地理学家研究诸如人类如何使用和感知空间以及他们如何创造和维护场所的主题，自然地理学家则研究诸如气候模式，地貌，土壤和水等物理方面。自然地理学家还可以预报天气并分析森林和湿地的计划。您在高中和初中所学的地理知识，都只是触及了这个引人入胜的学科的表面。地理科学的重点是理
Interested in solving problems using the digital connections between places, people, and behavior Our geographic information science program is an excellent choice if you are interested in solving social and environmental problems using advanced spatial information technology. As one of our students, you'll learn about topics as wide-ranging as natural resources, environmental science, transportation, emergency management, social science, and planning. Students with this type of degree are in high demand by employers in a variety of industries. Geographic Information Systems, commonly referred to as GIS, are computer systems that acquire, manipulate, analyze, and map spatial (or geographic) data. A GIS connects a map and a database that allows powerful analysis of information related to physical spaces. In the GIS curriculum, you l learn how to visualize information in ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends by using computer software for: practical skills and software relevant to jobs in GIScience, underlying theory and concepts that inform the best use of GIS technology and data, project management skills from start to finish: time management, data preparation, analysis, visualization, and final reporting.
