Bachelor of Science in Geography - Geographical Information Track

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

Geography analyzes spatial patterns and regional associations of the physical and cultural environments. It is concerned with human relationships with these environments as they exist now, existed in the past, and may or should exist in the future. This approach means geographers find work in many diverse fields, from environmental management to urban planning, from community development to the park service to GIS project management. Students who enroll in the Geographical Information Track will specialize in Geographic Information Science (GIS). GIS means working with spatial data, which is useful in many fields, including urban planning, environmental analysis, cartography, retail and real estate, health, and military intelligence.
