Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geography Environmental - Physical] From University of Cincinnati

Geographers analyze information represented on maps-- maps representing data produced in the traditional form (computer generated or drawn by hand) or images generated by satellites (remote sensing).

Students in the environmental BS track will learn to critically analyze and communicate environmental information underlying reports and policy documents, as well as to design and implement scientific experiments addressing environmental questions.

Geography provides a good educational background for students interested in a variety of careers in business, various government agencies (federal, state, county, city), non-profit agencies or careers as college and university professors. Geography provides strong preparation for professional and graduate schools (law, medicine, business, geography, or other physical or social sciences). Employment for students with strong geographic computer skills (GIS) is particularly strong. Examples of geography related jobs in various areas include:

• Agency of Internal Development
• Audobon Society
• Bureau of Land Management
• Bureau of the Census
• Cartographer
• Geographic software programming
• Housing and urban development
• Market research
• Sierra Club
