PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Geography is in<br />
the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Cal Poly Pomona.<br />
There are three undergraduate major option programs in geography in<br />
the department: Geographic Information Systems, Environmental<br />
Geography, and Geography. The core of the B.S. program emphasizes<br />
the cutting edge of technical and applied perspectives of the discipline<br />
balanced by a wide range of physical, human, and regional geography<br />
courses. The program is supported by department, college, and<br />
University level computer labs with various platforms and state of the<br />
art hardware and software. Faculty and students are increasingly<br />
involved in GIS and applied research, and contribute extensively to<br />
the College and University's effort to become a GIS literate campus.<br />
ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND<br />
FINANCIAL AID: The quarter system is used. Cal Poly Pomona<br />
offers a variety of financial aid programs through the Financial Aid<br />
office. The department also offers Scholarships for geography and<br />
other majors in the department. For further information, contact the<br />
department office.<br />
