13 courses with the subject GEOG, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
GEOG 103Cultural Geography3
The Cultural Geography course offers a broad overview of the world’s human landscape and how it relates to the physical environment. Understanding the spatial variations of cultural diversity is a key concept of the course. Students will examine the impact geography has had on the development of cultural traditions, globalization, international politics, economic systems, agricultural sustainability, demography, migration, and urbanization (Liberal Studies P6).
The discipline of Geography combines the physical and social sciences to gain an understanding of the world around us. This introductory course is designed to give the beginning student exposure to major geographic topics including the Earth’s physical systems as well as its human systems and the connections between the two. Students will examine relevant world examples to understand spatial patterns associated with major physical features, climate, natural hazards, culture, globalization, and politics. This interdisciplinary course can benefit students in any major and future career (Liberal Studies P6).
Principles and methods of geospatial analysis. Discussion of the analysis and display of spatial data including introductory concepts of remote sensing and geographic information systems.
Meteorology (temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, winds, radiation); global heat budget, CO₂ cycle, jet stream, air masses, fronts, storms; global distribution of climate.
An exploration of the Earth’s landscapes and the natural and anthropogenic processes that shape them; example topics are streams, landslides, weathering, glaciers, and climate change. Students will learn key skills, principles, and research approaches to geomorphology based on class, lab, and field-based activities. This course is cross-listed with GEOL 302. 3 Lecture, 3 Lab.

GEOG 324Introduction to Remote Sensing4
Interpretation and applications of remote sensing; satellite and aerial imagery, elementary photography, stereoscopic viewing, and photomapping. 3 Lecture, 2 Lab.
GEOG 221 , or NRM 213 , or permission of instructor. Credits: 4
GEOG 350Economic Geography3
Economic geography uses the spatial perspective to understand the global differences in economic activities, levels of development and sustainability. Students will examine various locational advantages and disadvantages governments and businesses have that impact local and global economies. Through the exploration of the various physical, social, cultural, and political influences on economic systems around the world, students will gain an understanding of how the global economy works.
An examination of the physical and human geography of the region under study. Focuses on historical development, physical features, cultural diversity, current issues, natural resources, demographic trends, spatial interaction, the environment, and prospects for growth. May be repeated as the region of study changes (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North America, and Oceania and the Artic). Only three hours may count toward Liberal Studies credit (Liberal Studies P6).

Political Geography analyzes the spatial organization of territories, people, places, and environments and describes how the political organization of space can change over time. Through the examination of national and international issues using political, cultural, economic, physical, and social perspectives, students will be able to discern forces of global cooperation and conflict.
