BA in Geography - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Dekalb United States | Northern Illinois University

Geography examines spaces and their positions, investigating the reasons behind spatial distributions and how a place's traits influence natural phenomena, ecosystems, and societal behaviors. It delves into humanity's relationship with, modification of, and stewardship over the natural world. As an applied science, geography not only enhances our comprehension of the planet but also enables us to adjust and prosper within it. The geography major allows students to deepen their expertise in a particular geographic field by selecting specialized courses from three concentrations: cultural geography, geospatial technology (GIS), or physical environmental systems. Through careful elective choices, students can fulfill the educational requirements for federal positions as soil specialists or water resource scientists.
