Yells Office: LA 209d Telephone: 801-863-7435 Geography is the study of the interaction between human, physical and environmental systems and their distribution across the sur face of the Earth. As a scientific field, geography is not simply about discovering where things are, but the theoretical and analytical understanding of concepts such as place, space and connectivity, within several disciplinary subfields such as cultural, economic, political and environmental geographies. Geography is a multidisciplinary field having important linkages with anthropology, biology, environmental science, geology, history, political science, and sociology. Those with training in geography are prepared to work in a wide variety of career fields, including cultural studies, natural resource management, education, foreign service, law enforcement, marketing, disaster response, humanitarian relief, public administration, real estate, tourism, and urban planning. GEOG 1300 and GEOG 2100 fulfill general education requirements in the social science distribution area. Several geography courses apply toward the Integrated Studies Social Sciences emphasis and may serve as electives in other programs.
