Geographers are interested in the spatial patterns observed on earth. Bridging the natural and social science, Geography is the disciplinary study of environments and how people interact with the environment. It is important to study geography because many of the world’s problems require understanding the interdependence between human activities and the environment. Geography is therefore a beneficial major for students because its theories and methods provide them with analytical skills re levant to occupations focused on solving social and environmental problems. The Department of Geography offers eight majors that help students tailor their focus of study.
地理学家对地球上观察到的空间模式感兴趣。地理学作为一门学科，桥接了自然科学和社会科学，研究环境以及人类与环境的互动。研究地理学很重要，因为世界上许多问题需要理解人类活动与环境之间的相互依赖关系。因此，地理学对于学生来说是一个有益的专业，因为它的理论和方法为他们提供了与解决社会和环境问题相关的职业相关的分析技能。地理系提供八个专业，帮助学生定制他们的学习重点。
