Geography Minors

The geography department strongly recommends that students select a minor. For students other than geography majors, the department offers two options: the traditional minor for students seeking one to complement history, political science, international relations, public administration, education, or other disciplines and programs; and a certificate in geographic information science for students interested in GIS technology. The latter is suitable for business administration, the natural sciences, math, or computer science.

Geography majors may complete the geographic information systems certificate/minor (not a concentration), but may not pursue the traditional geography minor.
