Bachelor of Science in Geography - Regions and Cultures

Geography is the study of spatial distributions, relations, processes and outcomes within the human-environment system. Attention is focused on historical and contemporary human activities in the natural and built environment, and on people as the major physical, social, cultural and economic change agents across the Earth’s surface. A curriculum in Geography helps students understand the world’s physical, social, economic and cultural landscapes and how they have been transformed or altered by either the Earth’s natural processes or human modifications, and the future sustainability of our current actions in the light of our past experiences and ongoing trends such as urbanization, globalization and climate change.

At Cal State East Bay, Geography BS students can choose between three concentrations in addition to their common core of classes, Resources and Sustainability, Regions and Culture, and Spatial Techniques. These concentrations permit our majors to relatively easily dovetail into second majors, minors or certificate programs especially in Environmental Studies (BA and minor), International Studies (BA and minor), Certificate in Sustainability and Certificate in Cartography and GIS and to study abroad for a semester or year. A BS in Geography provides a valuable multi-perspective education of vital importance in this age of globalization and cumulative environmental change, a period that scientists are labeling the “Anthropocene”. Graduates are primed to enter multiple professional fields or go on to a range of graduate programs related to environmental and resource management, planning and administration, sustainable development, and spatial data analysis. The major requires 43-47 units, 18 lower division and 25-29 upper division depending on the courses chosen for the pathway. The lower division portion aligns with the California Community College transfer Associate of Arts degree in Geography.
