Program Overview

---

The Department offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Geography. We also offer concentrations in Geographic Information Systems and Travel & Tourism, and a Minor in Geography. The geography program at UNO prepares students for careers in urban and environmental planning, geographic information systems, cartography, remote sensing, and other areas of geographic research.

All coursework taken for the Geography major or minor must be completed with a grade of “C-” or better.

Note for students double majoring in both A&S Geography and Environmental Science-Geography and Planning:

All geography courses may count toward both majors.

Double-counting rule for Geography majors with a Geology minor:

Only one course at the upper level may be counted as credit for both the Geography major and Geology minor. All other upper level courses can only count in either the major or minor

Geography may also be studied through the College of Public Affairs and Community Service in the Division of Continuing Studies. Students interested in this degree program must meet with an adviser in the Division of Continuing Studies. The concentration consists of a minimum of 30 credit hours in geography, details of which are found here.
