In geography the department offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. The geography program is designed to give students a broad base of geographical training and an understanding of human-environment interrelationships, while providing an opportunity to specialize in one of three concentration areas: urban planning and emergency/hazards management, environment and resources, and geographical information systems (B.S. only). The linked B.A./B.S. program in geography and the M.A. in humanities makes it possible for exceptional students to count up to 12 hours of graduate courses toward both an undergraduate and graduate degree.
