GEOG 105. Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems. 3 Credits.

Basics of integration and analyses of spatial data to visualize relationships, seek explanations, and develop solutions to problems. Emphases are placed on the nature of geographic information and the ways digital methods support geographic analyses and modeling.

GEOG 151. Human Geography. 3 Credits.

Non-ethnocentric understanding of geography of human lifestyles and activities; their place and role in human-environment interaction.

GEOG 161. World Regional Geography. 3 Credits.

Study of geographic processes shaping major world regions and inter-relationships in the global village; geographic bases and implications of current world events.

GEOG 196. Field Experience/Practicum/Internship. 1-15 Credits.

Field Experience is a structured, hands-on learning opportunity outside the classroom where students apply academic concepts and develop professional skills in a real-work setting. Experiences involve observations, assisting with tasks, and leading activities that allow students to gain practical knowledge, refine skills, and reflect on their learning in the context of their field. Requires department approval. Practicum is a supervised, practical experience during a course of study where students apply academic learning to real-world situations, under the guidance of professionals, to gain hands-on skills and professional knowledge. Experiences provide a bridge from theory to practice in short-term settings. Requires department approval. Internship is designed to provide practical participation under professional supervision in selected situations to gain experience in the application of concepts, principles and theories related to the students' area of specialization. Requires department approval. Graded P/F (UGRD) or S/U (GRAD).
