This course introduces students to the use of geographic information systems and their basic principles. Topics addressed include data collection, processing and output. Students will learn about types of geographic information and data: sources, constraints, and uses; the range of secondary spatial data sets available; and the collection of primary spatial data using global positioning systems (GPS) and other technologies.

This is an introductory/intermediate level course on the relationships between environment and economic development. While this course emphasizes environmental concerns of the 'Global South,' this course will also cover instances of 'Global Northern' peoples and places, particularly in less privileged areas such as Appalachia. The course examines the political economy of environmental destruction by asking why, despite much significant research, environmentally destructive development schemes continue.
This course explores the physical, cultural, and political geography of the European continent. Diversity of populations and physical landscapes is stressed. The geographic context for current events that are changing the face of Europe are presented.
Offers coverage of world regions not usually covered in other geography courses, or in-depth examinations of specific subregions. Topics covered include: elements of climate and physical landscapes; political and economic systems and their historical development and dynamics; social and cultural processes and landscapes. May be repeated to a maximum of six credit hours under different subtitles.
