SPECIALIZED COURSES
GEOGRPY 630
Geography of Race & Ethnicity in the United States 3 u
The course will take a geographical approach to the study of ethnic groups in the United States. Native American, African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American groups will be studied systematically. Major topics will include mobility, cultural regions, and the cultural landscape created by the various ethnic groups.
GEOGRPY 660
Applied GIS in Physical Geography 3 u
The course focuses on the use of GIS to better understand the physical processes shaping the earth’s surface and characteristics of the atmosphere. Because physical geography covers such a broad range of topics, it will be necessary to review the physical processes associated with each (e.g. landform formation, biogeography, patterns of severe weather, etc.) before applying GIS. Thus, the course combines traditional lecture style format with weekly meetings in departmental computer labs equipped with the latest GIS software. Grading is heavily based on completion of labs on time and quality of analysis of GIS outputs.
