Geography (GEOG)

Undergraduates who wish to major in geography should identify themselves to the Department as soon as possible in order that they may develop a meaningful sequence of courses and take part in departmental activities. Two types of undergraduate programs with concentrations in geography are described below. (Those interested in the graduate program should consult the catalog of the Graduate School.)

Requirements for a Major in Geography:

1 . The regular geography major of 30 hours leads to the B.A. degree in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.

Requirements: GEOG 1003, 1123, 2103, and 2203. A minimum of 15hours must be at the 3000 level or above, including GEOG 3023, with a balance between regional and topical courses. The college writing requirement is to be met by completion of a term paper deemed satisfactory by the student's adviser and instructor of an upper-level geography course. The college writing requirement may also be met by the completion of an honors thesis. Students who expect to enter graduate school are encouraged to register for GEOG 410V their senior year. Electives in closely related fields are considered a part of the program and, upon prior approval of the Department, six hours may be counted toward the major. Those planning to teach in secondary schools should note that they can both earn their degree in geography and qualify for a teaching certificate; they should consult with the Department as early as possible concerning this.

2. The major in secondary education with a specialization in social studies can have a concentration in geography. This leads to a B.S.E. degree in the College of Education. A full explanation of this program can be found in the College of Education section of this catalog.

Requirements for a Minor in Geography: 15 hours in geography to include GEOG 1001L, 1003; and 1123. At least 6 hours must be numbered 3000 or above and must include one regional and one topical course.

Cartography/Remote Sensing (GIS) Specialization: The program gives students an opportunity to develop expertise in: (1) cartography, map design and computer assisted map production; (2) remote sensing and image interpretation, including photographic systems, sensor systems, and digital image processing; and (3) geographic information systems, including data sources, analytical techniques, and hardware/software systems.

To complete the specialization, a student is required to fulfill certain course requirements and pass a comprehensive examination. Completion of the specialization will be noted on the student's official University transcript.

1. Required courses (9 hours): GEOG 3023, GEOL 4413, GEOG 4543.

2. Elective courses (minimum of 9 hours to be selected from): GEOG 4513,GEOG 4523, GEOG 4533, GEOL 5423, GEOG 4553, GEOG 4563, GEOG 4573, GEOG4593, CSEG 4683, STAT 4003 (or other statistics course approved by the Specialization Committee), CVEG 2053 (or other surveying course approved by the Specialization Committee).

3. Requirements for Departmental Honors in Geography: Admission to the Departmental Honors Program in Geography is open to geography majors with a minimum grade-point average of 3.25 in all their work. All honors candidates must take 12 hours (which may include 6 hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. During the fall semester of either the junior or senior year the candidate will enroll in GEOG 399VH (no more than three hours of credit), an undergraduate seminar in geographical philosophy and methodology. During the senior year the honors candidate will complete the program by writing a senior honors paper under GEOG 399VH (no more than three hours of credit). Successful completion of the requirements will be recognized by the award of the distinction "Geography Scholar Cum Laude at graduation. Higher degree distinctions are recommended only in truly exceptional cases and are based upon the whole of the candidate's program of honors studies.
