Do you have a desire to explore the world? Are you interested in how humans interact with their environment? If so, venture into the study of Geography.
伊人直播鈥檚 Geography program helps students to better understand both the physical, cultural, and political aspects of our planet. Although the term 鈥済eo-graphy鈥 literally means 鈥渢o map,鈥 the study of geography includes much more. It鈥檚 about people, places, and exploration. It鈥檚 both a science and a story. Geographers use technology and investigation to answer questions about the past and provide insights into the future.
The Associate in Arts for Transfer in geography will prepare students for entry-level careers, such as surveying or mapping, or to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a bachelor's degree for those seeking careers in natural resource management, environmental conservation, international development, urban and regional planning, education, tourism, cartography, climate science, park management, transportation planning and logistics, and more.
This program will help you to:
- understand human influence upon the physical environment
- compare and contrast demographic, cultural,, and economic connections on our planet
- understand regional, physical, and cultural differences and similarities across the globe
- effectively use the methods and technologies used in geographic analysis (i.e. remote sensing, GIS, GPS, and cartography)
- effectively communicate geographic concepts
