Bachelor of Science in Geography
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, Physical Geography (BS only), 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.
Other Information
All coursework taken for the Geography major or minor must be completed with a grade of “C-” or better.
Double-counting rules between Geography and Environmental Science-Geography and Planning:
Students pursuing both majors may not count the same 3000-4000 level Geography courses towards both programs, with the exception of GEOG 3530 and 4050.
The Environmental Science-Geography and Planning major with Geography minor may not use the same 3000/4000 level course for both programs.
Double-counting rules between Geography and Geology:
Only one course at the upper level may be counted as credit for both the Geography major and Geology minor, or Geology major and Geography 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.
