| Overview of Undergraduate Program |
| Majors earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Geography and Environmental Resources study the dynamic relationship between nature and society in the field and the computer laboratory as well as in the traditional classroom. |
| Courses |
| Courses are taught by PhD-holding faculty with excellent national and international reputations in their fields. GIS/RS courses have labs to provide students with more personal attention from outstanding graduate students. Course sizes are small, 400-level classes have an average of 11 students per class. |
| Specializations |
| Students choose among three concentrations focusing on different aspects of geography and environmental resources; environmental management, geographic information science (GIS), and climate and water resources. A foundation of core courses help students develop the analytic and research skills appropriate to their research interest. |
| Advisement & Mentoring in Geography |
| Advisement is handled through the College of Liberal Arts Advisement Office, with the Geography Undergraduate Program Advisor, and ultimately with a faculty specialist. Students have many opportunities to discuss advising questions with faculty. |
| Internships & Cooperative Work Experience |
| Practical experience is an important part of our program. Students receive academic credit for their internship experience. |
| Research Opportunities for Undergraduates |
| SIUC programs offer undergraduate students one-on-one working relationships with faculty and graduate students in laboratories, studios, and libraries, on campus and in the field. |
| Awards |
| Our departments provides several awards and scholarships for outstanding undergraduate majors. |
