Undergraduate students in the geography program develop an awareness of the natural and cultural landscapes of several regions of the world and investigate the processes that form them. Lower-division courses are open to any student at the university, with few prerequisites. For students transferring to the university in their third year, preparation in introductory college geography courses is desirable.

An undergraduate major in geography follows a broadly based general degree program or one that emphasizes environmental studies. Both degrees may be fine-tuned towards prospective teachers.
