Geography

About

Overview Geographers are devoted to thinking spatially about people, environments, and relations among them. Physical geography, a natural science, focuses on the natural processes that interact to create the biophysical environments we depend upon. Human geography, a social science, seeks to understand the cultural, economic, and political processes that create and reproduce the built environments and social worlds in which we live. Environmental geography lies at the intersection of the physical and human worlds, studying topics such as resources, hazards, and human impacts on the environment. What links these disparate foci is an overriding concern with space and the various ways in which it matters.As both a social and a natural science, the Geography major of Bucknell University provides a strong background in the discipline and a substantial foundation for a liberal arts education. Geography’s inherently interdisciplinary nature complements and integrates material from related fields such as international relations, economics, environmental studies, political science, geology, anthropology, sociology, climatology, women’s & gender studies, philosophy, and biology, making it an ideal choice for dual majors or as a minor. Career:The Geography major provides strong preparation for careers or graduate study in the environmental and resource fields, international affairs, urban and regional planning, government, business and marketing, journalism, law, health care, public service, teaching, and a host of other fields.
