- Course Descriptions The degree program in Geography consists of 11 courses (41 hrs.
total), 6 of which are core courses required of all majors. Further, students
choose either the Urban or Environmental track for their remaining courses.
Both tracks offer an applied and techniques orientation for the students,
which is stressed through coursework, advising, and through the core course
structure for the major. The Environmental track focuses on major
environmental systems including the hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere, and
biosphere. Particular emphasis is placed on the human modification of the
natural environment and the global interconnections of the major earth
systems. The Urban track focuses on the social and spatial effects of the
growth of cities, including issues such as the historical evolution of urban
form and function, land-use changes and conflicts, economic restructuring,
the growth and decline of inner-cities, and urban racial and ethnic
relations. Requirements for the Major in Geography
