Geography majors study the elements of physical landscapes of the world and how they impact the economic systems and cultures of the people who live there. Students also learn cartographic concepts, including map interpretation, creation, and analysis.

Students who are interested in a more broad exploration of liberal studies can major in humanities, which allows them to mix and match curriculum from a variety of liberal studies disciplines.
