GEOG 1302 Introduction to Human Geography
Fall 2025 In-Person

Do you seek critical perspectives on the difficult and complex problems that effect human well-being and environmental conditions in the world today? Human geography is a social science devoted to understanding the relationship between human societies and the Earth. It has two core areas of study. The first focuses on the interaction of people with nature, including the extraction of natural resources, the environmental impact of people and their activities, and the effects of natural forces on society. The second focuses on the spatial organization of societies and the construction of places, landscapes, and regions through human action and creativity. This course conducts a broad introduction to the main sub-fields within the discipline, including: population and migration; resource use and sustainability; culture and human landscapes; industrialization and uneven economic development; the political organization/reorganization of space; agriculture, rural livelihoods and food production; urbanization and urban life.

GEOG 2080 The Power of Maps: Introduction to Geospatial Sciences
Fall 2025 In-Person

A map can be thought of “macroscope” that enables readers to visualize, explore, and analyze patterns that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. As microscopes enabled vast advances in biology by enabling people to see entities that were otherwise impossible to see—cells, bacteria, viruses, and the like—so have maps enabled advances in geography and other fields by enabling us to view patterns across vast areas of the earth, equally impossible to “see” with the naked eye. The importance of data and information in our society has infused mapping with more power than ever before, engendering the field of cartography with a great deal of salience, both as a professional skill and as force that affects society and policy. In this course, students learn about the basic principles of mapping and learn about key pathways into the field, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial analysis, and cartography. This course serves as a springboard to more in-depth courses in the field of geospatial science.

GEOG 1302 Introduction to Human Geography
Fall 2025 In-Person

Do you seek critical perspectives on the difficult and complex problems that effect human well-being and environmental conditions in the world today? Human geography is a social science devoted to understanding the relationship between human societies and the Earth. It has two core areas of study. The first focuses on the interaction of people with nature, including the extraction of natural resources, the environmental impact of people and their activities, and the effects of natural forces on society. The second focuses on the spatial organization of societies and the construction of places, landscapes, and regions through human action and creativity. This course conducts a broad introduction to the main sub-fields within the discipline, including: population and migration; resource use and sustainability; culture and human landscapes; industrialization and uneven economic development; the political organization/reorganization of space; agriculture, rural livelihoods and food production; urbanization and urban life.

GEOG 2080 The Power of Maps: Introduction to Geospatial Sciences
Fall 2025 In-Person

A map can be thought of “macroscope” that enables readers to visualize, explore, and analyze patterns that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. As microscopes enabled vast advances in biology by enabling people to see entities that were otherwise impossible to see—cells, bacteria, viruses, and the like—so have maps enabled advances in geography and other fields by enabling us to view patterns across vast areas of the earth, equally impossible to “see” with the naked eye. The importance of data and information in our society has infused mapping with more power than ever before, engendering the field of cartography with a great deal of salience, both as a professional skill and as force that affects society and policy. In this course, students learn about the basic principles of mapping and learn about key pathways into the field, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial analysis, and cartography. This course serves as a springboard to more in-depth courses in the field of geospatial science.
