地理位置 - 城市规划 and Sustainability Minor
小的代码 OR4242
教师联系: Dr. 哈罗德·珀金斯
项目概述
Geographers are interested in the spatial patterns observed on earth. Bridging the natural and social sciences, 地理位置 is the interdisciplinary 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. 地理位置 is therefore a beneficial major for students because its theories and methods provide them with analytical skills relevant to occupations focused on solving social and environmental problems. The 地理位置 Department offers eight majors that help students tailor their focus of study.
The urban planning and sustainability minor will provide students with a basic understanding of urban environments and how communities can support the three main components of sustainability: environmental quality, economic development, and social equity. The minor is open to all undergraduates except those majoring in 地理位置.
职业生涯 and 研究生 School
This minor will provide students with additional training that will enhance core training within their specific disciplines. This additional training prepares them for a variety of jobs ranging from public policy and management to corporate responsibility.
