专业概况

在这里学什么？

The B.S. in Physical Geography provides majors with rigorous training in earth and environmental science. The degree offers students the option of choosing a more structured, directed program which emphasizes the quantitative and scientific approaches to studying the Earth’s physical environment. At the same time, the major offers the flexibility of deciding on which areas of systematics the student wants to focus on: soils, geomorphology, hydrology, oceanography, atmospheric science, biogeography, or any combination thereof. B.S. students are offered a specific list of related courses from biology and geology to supplement their selection of systematics courses. To declare geography as a major, students need to have completed two geography classes and have at least a 2.0 overall grade-point average. All major courses must be completed for a letter grade. The department has two faculty undergraduate advisors and one staff undergraduate advisor available for counseling on matters such as major requirements, quarterly scheduling, honors programs, petitions, internships, career planning, and graduate school information.

Research Opportunities

Upper-division students are encouraged to take part in research within the department. Faculty and graduate students welcome assistance on various research projects. Many faculty members integrate their research projects into teaching and individual studies, and the large number of geography majors participating in internships shows that geographers engage well with the workplace. Our students find employment in a variety of fields in industry, government, and academia. Consult the undergraduate advisors for more information regarding Internships (Geography 193), Directed Readings (Geography 198), Independent Studies (Geography 199), and Independent Research Assistance (Geography 199RA).

Careers in the Major

The undergraduate major is designed to prepare students for careers in many different fields. Geographers find work as meteorologists, cartographers, ecologists, demographers, hydrologists, urban and regional planners, soil conservationists, aerial photo interpreters, marketing analysts, intelligence analysts, transportation planners, GIS technicians, and educators, among numerous other professions. To learn more about careers in the major students can register for the department’s careers in geography class offered Winter quarter.
