Elliott. Description Geography is a study of the spatial organization, arrangement, function, movement and interrelationships of phenomena at the surface of the earth. It is a science concerned with both physical and cultural phenomena and interfaces with other disciplines in the natural sciences, social sciences, business and economics. Education Programs are offered in Land Use Planning; Cartography, Physical Geography, Cultural Geography, General Geography, and Geographic Education. Employment Outlook There is a growing demand for geographers in a multitude of state and federal agencies that manage large tracts of public land or monitor the environment. Rapid progress in computer technology is revolutionizing the massive mapping programs of the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Soils Conservation Corps, State Land Offices, etc. As these agencies shift from traditional mapping programs to computer data base systems and computer drawn maps, the demand for geographers with com- puter and cartographic skills will continue to escalate. In addition, geographers find careers in civil aviation, military, C.I.A., business, and in local, state and federal planning agencies. Geographers also find rewarding careers in teaching at the university and secondary school levels. Related Careers Conservation, cartography, library science, and government employment with the C.I.A., Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, city planning, environmental research, aerial and satellite photography, economic development, aviation, etc. Program: Geography Major Bachelor Degree General Requirements: Specific course requirements of the college (see index).
