A minimum of 39 credits in geography is required, divided among three areas:
General courses (12 credits ): 01:450:101, 102, 103, and 470
Methods courses (9 credits): 01:450:330 and any two courses from 01:450:320, 321, 322, 355, and 357
Specialized courses (18 credits): Six additional courses in geography, including one regional geography course (selected from 01:450:332, 334, 335, 336, 338, 341, and 342). At least three of the specialized courses must be at the 300 or 400 level.
There are no formal options, but students are strongly encouraged to select most of their specialized courses from one of three areas of emphasis: environmental systems and global change, environment and society, or urban and international restructuring.
If appropriate, majors are encouraged to substitute independent research projects under faculty supervision (01:450:491,492 or 01:450:495,496) or graduate courses for up to two of the courses in the specialized group.
