Geography Transfer Major
Program Description: Geography is defined by its concern with place. Geographers strive to answer spatial questions regarding the earth's surface; to describe and explain the character of regions; to ascertain the ways in which historical and contemporary humans have used and shaped the earth's surface; and to understand the interactions of physical, biotic, and human systems within a global environment.
Students of geography find that they develop insights and methods of inquiry that are particularly applicable to understanding many of the complex problems confronting societies. For instance, the distribution and consumption of natural resources, air and water pollution, processes and management of natural environments, growth and development of urban areas, increasing populations, transportation problems, spatial inequalities, location of services, and conflicts between nations are some of the issues dealt with by geographers.
Students interested in majoring in Geography can complete their two years of coursework at Iowa Central and then transfer to a public or private college for the remaining two years.
