Each Spring Semester.GeographyDepartment of Anthropology, Geography, andEarth Science (AGES); Paul Ryberg, Ph.D., chair335 Peirce Science CenterTelephone: 393-2317E-mail address: pryberg@clarion.eduWebsite: www.clarion.edu/ages/Professors: Howes, McGreevy, McKay, VegaAssociate Professors: Ayad, ThomasPeople have always sought to understand the world theyinhabit. Geography begins with this curiosity about both thefamiliar and the remote, but it does not stop with a simplelist of what is where. It seeks to know why things are wherethey are. Geography is an integrative discipline concernedwith the nature and significance of the patterns, places, andlandscapes that make up the earth’s surface. It embracesboth the natural and human and is particularly concernedwith how humans interact with the earth’s natural systems.The last fifteen years have seen a resurgence of geographicalstudy at all levels. Economic globalization has madegeographical knowledge increasingly crucial. In addition, thedigital revolution has transformed geography’s traditionalmapping tools into geographic information systems (GIS)that can combine and analyze satellite and other kinds ofdata. Today there is a large and expanding job market forgraduates with GIS skills. Geographers’ multidimensionaltraining allows them to work in the environmental field, aswell as in business, planning, and education. There is also ademand for students in geography graduate programs wheremost students are fully supported.As part of the AGES Department, the geography programat Clarion is diverse and cross-disciplinary. The faculty isengaged in local and international research. Students oftenwork as interns and collaborate on faculty projects. Thedepartment maintains a state-of-the-art GIS laboratory aswell as a map library.Geography, Minor .......................................................18 creditsThere are no required courses, however students will have tocomplete nine credits at the 300 level and at least three creditsin each of the following areas: Human Geography, PhysicalGeography, and Techniques in Geography.Geography Information Systems, Minor ..................18 creditsStudents choose either GEOG/ES 125 or GEOG/ES 345; thenthree from this list: GEOG/ES 400, 425, 470 and 490, as well astwo additional courses from Mathematics (MATH 100-499) and/orCIS (except for CIS 110 and 120).Geography Sustainable Planning, Minor .................19 creditsRequired: ENVR/PH 261, ENVR 490; 1 hour credit in BIOL 499,CHEM 465 or 466, ECON 491, PH 498 or 499, HON 450; twocourses in BIOL 202, 211, 405, ES 260, 301, 320, GEOG 301, 320;two courses in BSAD 340, 341, ECON 202, ENVR 275, GEOG115, 310, PHIL 358, CMST 333.
