Minor in Geography
The minor in Geography is designed to build on the interdisciplinary nature of geography
and allow students to incorporate a geographic approach to their discipline of interest.
The geography minor is an attractive option to students who major in anthropology,
biology, computer science, economics, engineering, environmental sciences, political
science, sociology, and sustainability.
