Geography is the study of the interactions between people and places, 本地和全球流程, 以及社会和生物物理系统. It is an integrative discipline in which scholars endeavor to understand the role of humans in producing the social and biophysical worlds in which they live. Geographic knowledge can be applied to explain cultural and political conflicts, 环保政策及措施, human landscapes, 经济福利. Modern geographical analysis typically involves cartographic and geospatial techniques (GIS) and both qualitative and quantitative methods.

- 总学费和费用可能会有所不同, depending on the instructional method of the courses in which the student chooses to enroll.
- 一个学生在一个学期里修的课程越多, 他们通常会节省更多的费用和总成本.
- Face-to-face or partially online courses are charged at the general tuition rate and all mandatory campus fees, based on the student's residency (non-residents are charged at a higher rate).
- Fully or entirely online course tuition rates and fees my vary depending on the program. Students enrolled in exclusively online courses do not pay non-Resident rates.
