專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么?
If you’re interested in places and curious about the world, geography may be for you. Geography is the study of how and why things vary from place to place around the world. Geographers study the environment, the geography of human activity, and places and all that makes them distinctive. They also study how people interact with their own environment and the natural world. Knowledge of geography is essential for comprehending the contemporary world because many of the defining issues of our times — climate change, globalization, political conflict, international migration, runaway urban growth — are fundamentally geographic in nature.
With small class sizes, personalized advising by department faculty and opportunities for independent study, you’ll receive a high degree of individual attention as a geography student here. We emphasize hands-on learning, and our students have interned at places as varied as forest services, global relief organizations and planning commissions. We also encourage study abroad and have had students participate in programs in countries including Chile, Denmark, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Spain and Vietnam. A geography degree from UNH will prepare you for a variety of careers or professional and graduate degrees.

Program Objectives
The geography major provides undergraduates with a solid foundation in geography by uniting social and biophysical sciences, humanities and technology to examine the factors that make a place or environment unique. Connecting academic inquiry to real-world problem solving, you will develop critical thinking skills and be prepared to transfer classroom and field experience into a wide range of careers.
With interests ranging from globalization to climate change and sustainability, urbanization to community development at home and abroad, UNH geography graduates have gone on to careers in urban, regional, and transportation planning, community development, environmental conservation and natural resources management, sustainability science, geographic information science, market research, location analysis, population studies, foreign aid, international diplomacy, and education.
