3.00 Credits
3 credits This course emphasizes the physical and cultural geography of Oregon. Physical geography serves as a framework to support the understanding of cultural settlement patterns, resource bases, landuse, and urban patterns for the diverse cultures who have given identity and cultural meaning to the 'place' of Oregon. Occasionally available as a field course summer term. GEOG 141 and/or GEOG 142 recommended prior to this class.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This regional course introduces the Pacific Rim with emphasis on East and Southeast Asia. A variety of cultures and natural environments are studied to understand development of modern Asia within a geographic and global context. Patterns of natural systems including landform regions, climate, and vegetation are explored. Traditional cultures and landscapes juxtaposed with modern patterns of economic growth show fast paced development shaping the new Asia. GEOG 141 or GEOG 142 is highly recommended prior to this class.
-
2.00 - 12.00 Credits
2-12 credits This course provides the student with geography-related work experience in community businesses and organizations. Students will have the opportunity to integrate theory and practice gained in the classroom with practical experience in the professional world. In this course a student may develop skills, explore career options and network with professionals while earning transferable college credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1-3 credits A variable credit course based on independent study contracted between an instructor and a student.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisites: Math 60 or Consent of instructor. This course will provide an introduction to the cartographic principles needed to understand Geographic Information Science. The course will explore global reference and coordinate systems, maps and generalization, types of maps: refernece, thematic, topographic, aeiral photography, and GIS. During the course, students will be introduced to ArcMap. It is assumed that students have no prior knowledge about GIS. This course serves as a foundation course in the GIS sequence. The course assumes participants have taken CIS 101 Computer Fundamentals, or CS 120 Concepts of Computing, or have an equivalent understanding of basic computer literacy concepts, and have experience as a user of the Windows operating system and applications software.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisites: Math 65 & GIS 245, or Consent of instructor Corequisites: CIS 247 Information Analysis and Visualization is highly recommended but not required. This course is the second in a series of Geographic Information Science courses and will focus on the development of skills and techniques used to create, analyze, and display spatial data in a geographic information system. The following skills and techniques will be emphasized: data management, map digitizing, and map editing. The class is designed to be taken with CIS 247.The course assumes participants have taken CIS 101 Computer Fundamentals, or CS 120 Concepts of Computing, or have an equivalent understanding of basic computer literacy concepts, and have experience as a user of the Windows operating system and applications software.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: GIS 246 or consent of the instructor. This course will provide advanced experience in Geographic Information Science (GIS) concepts and applications. The course builds on the experience and knowledge gained in GIS 245 (Maps and Spatial Information), GIS 246 (Introduction to GIS) and CIS 247(Information Analysis and Visualization). Students will gain practical experience by performing a number of GIS tasks such as: database management, cartographic design, document conversion, analysis and workforce training. Experience will be gained via real-world, applied, capstone projects.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits This course explores the geology, plants and animals of Oregon in three geographical areas: Central Oregon, the Willamette Valley and the coast. A comparison of these different habitats is made by discovering the similarities and differences in the geology, flora, and fauna. By going on field trips to each area, students will learn how to identify various plants, fish, birds and mammals. Environmental awareness of local problems and possible solutions will be discussed especially with the Northwest-related problems of salmon decline and cutting of the old growth forests. Class discussions, student research and field trips will be a major part of this class.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: MTH 052 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test. In the GS 104, GS 105, GS 106 course sequence for non-science majors, emphasis is placed on basic principles that tie the physical sciences together. GS104 topics are selected from the standard first year of physics, such as mechanics, heat, temperature and entropy, electricity and magnetism, waves, and some introduction to modern physics. This science class includes lab experiences in a variety of settings, with an emphasis on directly observable connection to specific phenomena, as well as classroom demonstrations. Any of the GS 104, 105,106 courses can be taken independently of the others.

4 credits Prerequisite: MTH 052 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test. In the GS 104, GS 105 and GS 106 course sequence for non-science majors, emphasis is placed on basic principles that tie the physical sciences together. GS105 topics are selected from the standard first year of chemistry, such as periodic table of the elements, chemical formulas, chemical reactions including acids and bases, energy, entropy, gas laws, solutions and simple organic structures. This class includes several standard chemistry labs, plus demonstrations in the classroom and some work with molecular models. It is not necessary to take all three, GS 104, 105 and 106, nor is it necessary to take these classes in order.
