2. A related minor outside geography such as anthropology, history, or geology.

3. Geographic techniques, including cartography, remote sensing, GIS, and various field techniques. A course on geographic research and writing skills is also required.

Upper division courses cover such topics as economic geography, environmental conservation, human migrations, water resources, climatology, and regional studies. Special topics courses include arid lands, global ecosystems, tourism and American cultural landscapes.
