Students may major in geography as part of a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science program.

Bachelor of arts students

Students pursuing a bachelor of arts with a major in geography will normally take the following courses in their first year:

1. Both LS courses must be in the same language. If your first language is not English and you do not meet the standards for entry into regular first-year English courses you may use English 1020 and 1021 to fulfill this requirement. Such students are permitted to complete up to an additional six credit hours in English CRW courses at the 1000 level in order to fulfill the CRW requirement.

Bachelor of science students

Students pursuing a bachelor of science with a major geography in will normally take the following courses in their first year:

1. You may complete Mathematics 1000 in the fall semester and an elective in the winter semester; or Mathematics 1050 and 1051. The completion of Mathematics 1000 as one of the mathematics courses will allow for greater choice in the selection of geography courses, particularly third and fourth year physical geography, GIS, cartography, and remote sensing courses.
