Geography Minors Transform Global Insights into Local Action
Students explore interactions between people, places, and environments, integrating social and natural sciences to understand global issues and address them locally. Geography minors learn diverse methods, like geospatial analysis, for studying and managing human and environmental change.
Students take 100-level courses in human (GEO 101 or GEO 111) and physical geography (GEO 121 or GEO 122), then select two courses from the 200-level and finish with two upper-level courses (300- or 400-level) in an area of their choosing. (18 semester hours)
ELIGIBILITY
A minimum 2.0 GPA is required for all courses in the minor. No course may be taken credit/no credit. This minor is not available to majors in geography.
Curriculum and Courses
The courses you choose will open up a wealth of career opportunities — not lock you into one occupation. You’ll extend your education way beyond the classroom to every area of your life.
