The undergraduate major leads to the bachelor of arts degree. Students are introduced to basic geographical concepts and methods in a series of required core courses; additional courses emphasizing urban environments, natural environments or geographic information science complement the core. Majors should expect to participate in several field trips as part of their course of study. Practical experience gained while working as interns or research assistants is strongly encouraged. Four interdisciplinary minors also administered by the Geography Department are described in this section. Geography courses feature prominently in three other majors: the B.A. in Social Sciences administered by the Department of History; the B.S. in General Studies administered by the Rossier School of Education; and the B.S. in Environmental Science.

Extractions: Web site: http://www.uiowa.edu/~geog Geography is concerned with place and environment and the ongoing processes of change within and between social and physical systems. Geography's importance to scholarly inquiry is rooted in the complexity of the social and environmental problems with which the science deals. Its analytical power comes from its ability to understand and work with complex systems and with problems that require synthesis and integration. Three concepts at the core of the disciplinespace, place, and scaleprovide theoretical constructs and methodological tools for a science that investigates the complex character of social and environmental phenomena.

Hay, John Keyantash, Ralph H. Saunders, David R. Sigurdson, Jamie L. Webb Staff Virginia Knauss, Department Secretary Department Office: NSM B-202, (310) 243-3377 Program Description Knowledge of the Earth's physical systems, and human's interaction and alteration of those, is key to society's ability to sustain growth and development, and at the same time maintain the quality of life that the world's nations desire. In recent years people have discovered that large numbers of societal problems have geographic dimensions and that education and training in geography provide essential skills for real world problem solving. As a result, geography has become a necessary ingredient in hundreds of different jobs, in both government and industry, and at the local, regional, national, and international levels. The Geography program, which is housed in the Earth Sciences Department, concentrates on the physical aspects of geography (atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere), computer-based geotechniques such as remote sensing, geographic information systems and cartography, and the study of the different regions of the world.

Degrees Offered General Information Geography is one of the oldest organized fields of study. Natural curiosity and a desire to seek resources prompted early people to migrate across land and oceans. As knowledge of the world and its people grew, so too did the discipline of geography. The known world was mapped, and cartography developed as a specialized profession highly dependent on mathematics. Continued exploration produced information that was synthesized, and the world was defined and interpreted by geographers. Programs for Academic Excellence The department currently works across the broad spectrum of geography. On the physical side, faculty are presently conducting research in hydrology, global and tropical climatology, and biogeography. On the human side, faculty are working in cultural and historical studies bearing primarily on economic and natural resource development, land use, and cross-cultural contacts. In techniques, active research interests of the faculty include geographical information systems (GIS), quantitative methods, statistical climatology, and remote sensing. Between them, the faculty are currently working in many geographical areas, including the United States, Canada, Eastern Europe, West Africa, the Middle East, and South and East Asia.

http://www.aag.org/Careers/Cultural_Human_Geography.html

Extractions: T his concentration focuses on the aspects of geography that relate to different cultures, with an emphasis on cultural origins and movement and the cultural characteristics of regions (e.g., language, religion, ethnicity, politics, historical development, agricultural methods, settlement patterns, and quality of life). Cultural ecologythe ways in which humans have interacted with their cultural and natural environment at various timesis also included. There is a strong relationship between cultural geography, anthropology, and archaeology. Cultural geographers often try to reconstruct past environments, and to do so they must be equally skilled in library research, field observation, and the interpretation of cultural artifacts. Historical geographers are interested in recreating the geography of past times. In doing this, they work closely with historians and archivists, contributing much to the understanding of present-day geography. Courses in this area include historical geography, cultural geography, cultural ecology, human geography, human use of the earth, and humanity and nature. Many cultural and human geographers are area specialists as well, which means that they focus their attention on a specific region, such as Latin America, Europe, or Asia. Because they often carry out field observation in other countries, they will usually need good foreign-language backgrounds.
