Undergraduate: The Department of Geography, Geology, and
Planning (GGP) offers undergraduate majors in Geography, Geology,
Planning, Geospatial Science, and Earth Science Education. The B.S.
in Geography requires a minor and has three areas of emphasis:
Cultural and Regional Geography, Environmental and Natural
Resources, and Geotourism. The interdisciplinary comprehensive
major in Planning includes courses in Geography, Economics,
Political Science, and Sociology. The interdisciplinary comprehensive
major in Geospatial Science includes courses in Geospatial Science,
Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Industrial
Technology.
The department houses two different institutes: the Ozarks
Environmental and Water Resources Institute (OEWRI) and the
Center for Resource Planning and Management (CRPM). These
institutes provide departmental majors with practical work experience,
mentoring, and support at the undergraduate and graduate level
through a variety of projects, field studies, and internships with public,
private, and not-for-profit organizations. OEWRI is a leader in
watershed science research including fluvial geomorphology, flood
hydrology, storm water management, water quality testing and
monitoring, and sediment and soil quality. Having active Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) faculty, research, and equipment in the
same department allows a broad range of research and teaching on
