Why study geography?
Geography is the core environmental discipline: it is the study of
the physical and human environments of our planet and the
ways that they interact. Geography combines social and natural
science methods and knowledge to help us understand the
complex problems facing businesses, government agencies, and
community organizations. Geographers are uniquely qualified to
investigate issues involving competing land use, complex land
management problems, and integrated natural resource
development. While geographers gain exposure to all aspects of
the discipline, typically students will concentrate on either human
geography or physical geography for their degree, and
specialize in sub-fields such as GIS and wetlands science.
