Geography

Learn more than in the classroom by participating in field trips around the United States and to Rome, Paris, Australia, and Costa Rica.  Learn from faculty specialists who have traveled the world and make geography come alive in the classroom.  Join a small and exciting program that allows you to benefit from frequent interaction with professors and individually tailor your coursework to your career goals.  Take regional courses on Western Europe, Latin America and the United States, and topical courses in cultural geography, urban geography, and the geography of religion.  If you have ever wondered how geography, history, anthropology, geology, climate, etc, all come together and wish to apply this knowledge in domestic and international case studies, come over to Reed Hall and visit with us!
