(Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor) Su GEOGRAPHY Geography is a subject which in its broadest sense studies the earth-atmosphere system and human activities therein. As such, geography provides an unusual blend of social science and natural science. Prospective students should note that the 3-credit-hour courses in geography generally are classified as social science credits. The 4-credithour sequence (GEOG 1040, 1050, Geography of the Natural Environmental I, II) fulfill the natural/physical science requirements in most liberal arts programs. Course Descriptions
