Geographers explore the earth and use cutting-edge technology to portray and understand our world. An education in geography prepares you to help make a difference in our modern world by combining local and global perspectives to find creative ways to solve real problems.
At the 内布拉斯加大学 at Kearney Department of 地理位置, students can choose from undergraduate degrees in 地理(学士或学士), 地理位置 and GIScience (BS),和 teaching subject endorsement for 教育. We also offer 未成年人 in 地理位置, GIScience, and 环境科学.
Human geographers concentrate on people and their activities, 比如文化, 经济学, 历史, 政治制度. Physical geographers concentrate on the earth and topics such as climate, 地形, 土壤, and the natural environment. Geographic Information Science (GIScience), 包括地理信息系统, 遥感, 和制图, is used by both human and physical geographers to bring a spatial perspective to our knowledge of the world.
在我们的实验室, students explore technologies in GIS, 遥感, cartography and physical geography, all in small classes alongside faculty who often involve students in their research.
"I graduated from bet36365体育 in 2005 with a double major in 地理位置 and Computer Information Systems. Looking back, I am very happy with my undergraduate experience at bet36365体育. The geography faculty prepared me very well for an academic career by giving me opportunities to co-author journal articles, present papers at undergraduate and regional academic conferences, and participate in faculty research. When I started graduate school, I realized that my peers from larger universities had not had those kinds of experience as undergraduates. Today I am an assistant professor of geography at Northwest Missouri State. My teaching style emulates several of the professors I had while at bet36365体育."
