Introduction
B.A. in Geography, students learn to answer complex questions such as why things are where they are, where they are likely to be in the future, and where they might best be located. These skills are applied at any scale to any issue where space and location play a role. For example, one might determine where to best locate a business or how to predict or manage the trade. One might study neighborhood dynamics in a changing economy or plan for urban growth and change. One might study natural hazards, resource use, and distribution, or climate change.
