Geography (GEOG) Minor
Geography, like history, is a way of looking at the world.
Whereas historians study variation through time, geographers
study variation through space: how and why the earths natural
and human features vary from place to place. Underlyingthis spatial
approach are such recurring themes as spatial diffusion of people,
goods, and ideas; the significance ofrelative location in human
interaction; the power of place in human consciousness; and the
interaction of physical andhuman processes to create characteristic
landscapes. Geographers work at the intersection of social and
naturalsciences, using the concepts and methods of both to examine
human-environmental relationships in their full complexity.This
integrative approach is a hallmark of geography and one of its main
attractions. Geographers can be found in a greatvariety of
positions often not specifically identified as geographic:
environmental management, urban planning,conservation, recreation
and tourism, transportation planning, international affairs, and
many others.
