-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 4405 for GIS internships, or at least 15 hours of upper division geography courses for non-GIS internships. A structured off-campus experience in a supervised setting that is related to the student's major and career interests. Practical experience is combined with scholarly research under the guidance of geography faculty and the internship supervisor. Those seeking experience in a GIS environment will work under the guidance of the GIS Program Direc-tor. Sites must be in advance of the semester of the internship and must be approved by the student' s advisor or internship coordinator. A departmental internship orientation session is scheduled once a semester. Note: GIS certificate students please sign up for GEOG 4415 and not this course.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Any general education science lab sequence. This course is designed to give students an overview of the human dimensions of US environmental issues and is a core course for the environmental studies minor. From a geographi-cal perspective, the course explores how US environmental laws, ethics, viewpoints and eco-nomics interact, shape, and manifest themselves across the landscape. Students will be introduced to technologies, such as geographic information systems and satellite images, used by geographers to study environmental issues. The course will examine spatial patterns arising from the ways in which we manage our natural resources and envi-ronment. Natural resources such as water, air, soil, energy and fossil fuels will be used as examples in the discussion of spatial patterns arising from resource extraction, transportation and use.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the nature of Earth’s climate and the physical processes that determine the variations in climate and weather worldwide. Emphasis is on the interactions among the atmosphere, the hydrologic cycle, and earth’s surface. Aspects of climate change will also be addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the geographic distribution of plants and animals from historical, cultural, and ecological perspectives. Emphasis is on the local, regional, and global patterns and processes that have influenced the distribution and evolution of plant and animal species. Aspects of environmental change and conservation is also addressed.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course will offer students an opportunity to investigate geographically-oriented concepts and issues by assisting in faculty-led research or scholarship. Course content and instructional methodologies will be identified by the faculty’s needs and expectations.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Approval of advisor, instructor, major area committee and department chair prior to registration. Covers special topics and seminars external to regular course offerings.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GIS 3315. This course builds upon basic concepts addressed in the Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) course. The use of topological data procedures and relational database concepts within the GIS context will be investigated along with procedures relevant to building Geodatabases, including map projec-tions, coordinate systems, digitizing vectors, and transformations. Fundamental spatial analysis operations are expanded upon, including spatial query, address matching, spatial aggregations, buffering, polygon overlay, and point-in polygon operations. ArcGIS software is used in class.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 4405 or permission of instructor. Remote sensing is the art and science of obtaining information about an object, area, or phenomenon by a device that is not in contact with the study subject. Remote sensing methods include the production and analyses of satellite imagery and aerial photography as well as basic digital image processing techniques. This course is an introduction to remote sensing from space and aircraft platforms and an introduction to digital photogrammetry.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GIS 4410 and permission of program coordinator. A capstone course designed to complete the GIS Certificate Program by integrating the students' prior training in the application of computer based manipulation and spatial analysis of data through the use of geographic information systems programs in on-site applied work settings. Students will be given applied experiences in selected public or private organizations in the community or in campus-related programs to make use of their GIS training. Students are expected to find their own practicum, which require the program coordinator' s approval. GIS Majors should enroll in GEOG 3398.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Approval of Instructor and Depart-ment Chair. Selected topics of interest to faculty and students.
