This course provides a framework for recognizing and analyzing the major distinctive regions of the world in comparative context emphasizing various inter-relations among environment, culture, economy, politics, and history.

Geography 2215 is the first course in the Geographic Information Systems sequence. This course introduces students to the art and science of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial technologies, geographic analysis, map communication, and geographic inquiry. In the course, students will learn about the major components of Geographic Information Systems, including the hardware, software, people and data needed to make these systems useful.

Prerequisites: GEOG 1101 and Sophomore standing. This seminar course examines the production and interpretation of cultures, the major cultural markers of identity, and the politics of space, place, and landscape.

Prerequisite(s): GEOG 1101 with a minimum grade of C

Prerequisite: Completion of GEOG 1101 and sophomore standing. Various topics selected from any of the subfields of human geography. May be taken twice for credit with different topics.

Prerequisite(s): GEOG 1101 with a minimum grade of C or GEOG 1101I with a minimum grade of C or GEOG 1101H with a minimum grade of C

This course allows advanced students in GIS to develop an analytical approach to spatial problems tailored to their personal interests. A series of course modules embracing that interest is negotiated by the student and instructor with a goal of 15 hours of course work for each hour of course credit. Typically this course will be taken for four credit hours and approximately 20 course modules will be required for its completion. Students in this course work independently under close faculty supervision. (S/U grading.)

Fifty percent of the global population and eighty percent of the people in the United States live in cities. Urban social geography is the study of social and spatial dimensions of city life. In this course, we will explore some of the ways in which urban society is organized historically and geographically. This course incorporates class discussion, field work, and research projects.

This course is a hybrid seminar/discussion and lab/fieldwork course that allows students to critically examine advanced topics and readings in GIS and related geospatial technologies. Students will work with ArcGIS and related geospatial technologies so they can engage in advanced geographic analysis and geospatial thinking to address their own research interests. The class will emphasize GIS and geospatial technologies as a process in which geographic questions can be answered with spatial thinking and GIS tools.

CSU community geographers empower communities – from neighborhoods to regions – to use maps, spatial analyses and other geographical and historical data to better understand their landscape and address community concerns. This course empowers students to critically assess and apply geospatial technologies, geographic analysis, map communication, and geographic and historical inquiry in local settings. As an emerging subfield of geography with relationships across multiple disciplines and fields of study, community geography places explicit emphasis on identifying spatial thinking and engaging local knowledges. Each course integrates theory, practice, and reflection in the context of a service-learning project.
