Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Geography and Urban Studies

  • The Geography and Urban Studies major introduces students to urban processes, spatial relations, geospatial technologies including GIS, and qualitative and quantitative social science research methods. In required courses and electives, students examine urban issues; the role of political institutions; policy-making; and human interactions with the environment.
  • The Geography and Urban Studies gateway courses are designed to develop the theoretical and methodological frameworks and tools necessary to understand the relationships among people, places, and the environment as they interact through local and global connections. The electives give students the opportunity to develop an area of emphasis around their particular interests. Students focus on an individualized research project in their Senior Research Seminar.
  • Each student's program is developed with a departmental advisor to suit individual interests and is designed to maximize educational and career opportunities. We encourage Geography and Urban Studies students to incorporate a semester abroad and/or an internship into their plan of study.
