41 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.
None Restriction: None Description: Relates theories of the discipline of geography to current world issues and global patterns. Emphasizes local versus global strategies of resource management, spatial legacies of colonialism, contemporary multiscale issues with workforce migration, urban structure, disease, and globalization. Focuses on global patterns of development through comparative approaches and understanding of human and physical geographic characteristics of world regions. Cross-Listed: No
None Restriction: None Description: Introduces human geography, including maps, population, ethnicity and race, agriculture, resources and the environment, economic organization of space, language, religion, political geography, and urban geography. Covers themes of human relationships with the natural environment, culture regions, spatial diffusion, globalization, and cultural landscapes. Cross-Listed: No
none Restriction: none Dual Listed: GEOG 541 Climate and Environment Description: Examines the elements of weather and climate on earth. Examines the location and causes of global climatic regions in relation to moving pressure and wind systems. Considers the climatic history of the planet and recent human modifications of the atmospheric environment. Previously Offered As: (Also offered as RGPL 341; may not be taken for duplicate credit.) Cross-Listed: Yes
One course from GEOG 341 , GEOG 342 , BIOL 103 , BIOL 115 Description: Examines the distribution of plants and animals across the earth’s surface, as influenced by natural and human processes.

GEOG 424 or REPL 424 Description: Provides an introduction and application of the theory and techniques of the GeoDesign framework. Involves data-driven decision making for collaborative community development and land-use planning and is an emerging conceptual framework for place-based decisions and designs. Integrates knowledge of community planning, decision making, landscape design, and Geospatial techniques to produce a professional quality project. (Also offered as REPL 427 ; may not be taken for duplicate credit.)
GEOG 316 / REPL 316 or GEOG 417 Description: Employs GIS-based public health analysis methods that are employed to understand the distribution and nature of public health problems, health disparities and access to health care services, and potential location-based strategies or interventions. Demonstrates knowledge of cartographic and spatial analyses and how they are used in the field of Public Health. Explores typical spatial public health analysis techniques, as well as demonstrates the ability to select appropriate data and analytical methods to implement GIS-based analyses.
GEOG 460 Description: Examines concepts and techniques involved in the implementation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for the collection of remote sensing and spatial data acquisition. Emphasizes acquisition of the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake manual and automated UAS flights for spatial data acquisition, such as: fundamental photogrammetry concepts, UAS mission planning, GPS/GNSS ground control, UAS airborne navigation, and processing of UAS-collected data into data deliverables.
none Restriction: none Dual Listed: REPL 675 Geospatial Analysis Description: Presents concepts underlying spatial analysis techniques and provides hands-on experience operationalizing spatial analysis methods through use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) hardware and software. Cross-Listed: No
