Graduation Requirements Minors Geography Geography Education Course Descriptions Geography Geography has an ancient intellectual heritage which has persisted as humans have attempted to understand the complexities and interrelationships of world physical and cultural systems. Rooted in both the physical and social sciences, geography functions as a synthesizing discipline providing a "bridge" between these two often disparate interests. The Geography Department strives to perpetuate this long-standing objective by providing classes which investigate both the physical and cultural world. Geography students are trained to think in locational and spatial terms. In this context, students consider where physical and cultural phenomena are located and why they occupy this space. These principles, when combined with the interaction of earth systems, are the central focus of the discipline and the Geography Department. Our courses are designed to fulfill several purposes: (1) to unequivocally support the mission of BYU-Idaho and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. (2) Provide exposure to the thinking of influential scholars of the discipline, both past and present. (3) Prepare prospective teachers in geographic fundamentals to faciliate teaching those fundamentals to their students. (4) Encourage an understanding of geographic vocabulary. (5) Introduction to research methodology, and introduce students to "leading edge" technology in geographic research and practice, in areas such as GIS and land-use planning. (6) Help students gain geographic literacy and certification as teachers of Geography at secondary level.

Raphael, Ph.D. Melissa Savage, Ph.D. Scope and Objectives Geography is concerned primarily with interpreting and explaining the occurrence, distribution, and interrelationships of the physical and social elements which can be seen in the landscape. The geographer concentrates on two essential questions: where are things located? and why are they located where they are? The answer to the former is largely descriptive, but the answer to the latter involves theory and analysis. The geographer's challenge is to provide continuing interpretation of the constantly changing physical and human landscapes on the Earth's surface. The research and teaching interests of the faculty, ranked sixth nationally by the Conference Board of the Associated Research Councils, cover major areas of geographical knowledge and underlie both the undergraduate and graduate instructional programs. These areas of interest may be broadly grouped into urban and regional development studies, spatial demography and social processes in the city, culture and environment in the modern world, physical geography, and biogeography.

SITE MAP SUPPORT LIBRARY RESOURCES ... EXERCISES Greetings and Welcome Aboard! An Introduction To Geography 450 ("Location Theories") (faculty.washington.edu/krumme/450/firstpage1.html) "I have a bias against general systems, general theories, general structures. It seems what we need mostly today in economics is not to build upwards, toward general systems and theories, but rather to build downwards, toward some understanding of the individual decision-making units and their actions and interactions." (Roland Artle) Brief Course Description: While Geography 450 is based on the premise that "location" still matters, it also explores how this premise has changed for different economic activities due to advances in transportation and communications technologies. The class surveys many of the location and spatial concepts which have become the theoretical foundation of much of the work in Social, Human and Economic Geography. We will derive basic micro-economic, decision-theoretical, managerial, organizational- and transaction- theoretical principles underlying consumer, commercial, industrial and governmental behavior in physical, economic, transportation and communication (including cyber-) space. We will discuss these principles in the context of past, contemporary and foreward-looking conceptual frameworks. This theoretical discussion will draw upon "real world" examples from a wide variety of specific spatial choice situations, including choices related to residence, recreation, employment, migration, communications (education, advertising, location on the Web), shopping, marketing, health care, and industrial investments. The discussion will cover (potentially) all spatially-significant activities in the private, corporate and public sectors, including spatial behaviors affected by government regulations, i.e. spatial behaviors in uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments at local, national and international levels. Some background or a strong interest in microeconomics (Econ 200/300) or economic geography (

GIS Program at CWU Introduction Geographers study the earth much as you encounter it in your everyday lifein its entirety. That's what makes geographers unique among educated people. We are interested in so many different kinds of things, and in seeing how seemingly unrelated facts and ideas fit together to explain the world around us. Geographers take a more integrated view of the world around us, and think about it more holistically than practitioners of most other disciplines. So if you are interested in more than two of the following kinds of phenomena, you are on your way to becoming a geographer: Environment Geology Maps Cultures Human migrations Land use Biology History Cities Religions Planning Economics Human Behavior Natural Resources Climate change Perception Natural Hazards Education Population Politics and policy Places World futures The next step is to take a course or two from us to see if our approach to understanding the world fits well with your own. This will tell you if we share common interests and if you enjoy our style of thinking and analysis.

Previous page Table of Contents Next page Report of the General Board on the establishment of a Professorship of Physical Geography and a Professorship of Human Geography The GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows: 1. The Faculty Board of Earth Sciences and Geography have advised the General Board of the need for two new Professorships in the Department of Geography to enhance teaching and research in the fields of Physical Geography and Human Geography. The new Professorships will reinforce the Department's position at the interface of the physical and social science approaches to environmental problems, maintain its leading role in area studies of these issues, and further its work on problems of economic development, policy, and political issues which arise from the interaction of humans with the environment. 4. In order to meet the cost of these new offices, the Faculty Board have proposed that three University Lectureships in the Department of Geography should be suppressed, namely the offices that became vacant on 23 April 1999 on the death of Dr G. E. Smith, on 1 August 1999 on the early retirement of Dr D. E. Keeble, and on 1 September 1999 on the resignation of Dr L. M. McDowell. The General Board have accepted the Faculty Board's proposal, which has been supported by the Council of the School of the Physical Sciences, for the establishment of the new Professorships on this basis. They have accordingly agreed that, if the recommendations of this Report are approved, they will suppress the three University Lectureships mentioned above.

A Word About Standards Many teachers deal with the realities of standards-driven learning. World Wise Schools resources support the following standards: National Geography Standards From National Geography Association I. The World in Spatial Terms Geography studies the relationships between people, places, and environments by mapping information about them into a spatial context. The geographically informed person knows and understands: How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools (e.g., charts and graphs), and technologies to acquire, process and report information from a spatial perspective. How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on the Earth's surface. II. Places and Regions The identities and lives of individuals and peoples are rooted in particular places and in those human constructs called regions. The geographically informed person knows and understands: The physical and human characteristics of places. III. Human Systems People are central to geography in that human activities help shape Earth's surface, human settlements and structures are part of Earth's surface, and humans compete for control of Earth's surface. The geographically informed person knows and understands:

Women's Studies GEOGRAPHY College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics BACHELOR OF ARTS MINOR CERTIFICATE CAREER POSSIBILITIES ... FACULTY PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Geography is a contemporary discipline with ancient roots. Millennia ago the Egyptians and Greeks measured the Earth and the heavens and developed explanations for the diversity they saw. Geographers today maintain that same curiosity about places and spaces. They examine both physical and cultural landscapes, focusing on the many environments that people inhabit, alter, create, and perceive. The Department of Geography at CSUS provides a wide range of courses for persons majoring in Geography. Lower division offerings in physical geography and cultural geography introduce students to the discipline. Upper division offerings add diversity. Students can choose among regional classes on many parts of the Earth, topical classes on subjects from population to landforms, and skill classes that include map making, map reading, spatial analysis, remote sensing, geographic information systems, and fieldwork. Students majoring in Geography are encouraged to enroll in elective courses that are consistent with their particular geographical interests and concentrations. A minor in another academic field is not required, but it may be useful for some students to have a second specialization if they intend to pursue graduate studies or professional work in geography.

The University of Montana - Missoula Course Catalog 2005-2006 Home Index Calendar College of Arts and Sciences Department of Geography Jeffrey A. Gritzner, Chairman Geography provides a broad ranging perspective on humans as inhabitants and transformers of the face of the earth. The search for this understanding involves thorough study of the physical earth, its habitation by humans, and the resulting diversity of regions and places. Geographers study the physical earth by examining the interlocking systems of the natural environment, including climate, landforms, soils, and biota. Humans are studied by examining those diverse historical, cultural, social, economic, and political structures and processes which affect the location and spatial organization of population groups and their activities. Regions and places, whether described as nations, cities, ecological units, or landscapes, are studied by integrating and interpreting their physical and human relationships in an effort to better understand them and the problems they face. Geographers are often found working in business, industry, government, and education. Those in planning might be called upon to determine the most satisfactory location for a new school or an airport, or undertake the environmental or socioeconomic studies required for community and regional planning. Others enter fields such as environmental law, diplomacy, intelligence, and teaching. Graduates trained in cartography and GIS find professional opportunities in map-making and spatial analysis. No academic discipline offers a greater range of employment opportunities.
