What College of the Desert says about their program:
"Geography is concerned with the spatial variations and interrelationships between the natural and cultural features of the earth. The Geography major is designed to develop and deepen a student’s ability to interpret and explain the occurrence, distribution, and interrelationships of the earth’s physical and social elements. Geographers examine where are things located; why are they located in that manner; and how their location affects them? The geographer’s challenge is to provide continuing interpretation of the constantly changing physical and human landscapes of the world.
Geography is often paired with an environmental component intended to develop and deepen an understanding of environmental issues. It emphasizes a systems approach to understanding the major environmental problems facing our society and the world at large. Students gain an understanding of geographical perspectives of human impacts on natural systems, and on the implications of environmental change on local, regional and global human systems. This is an especially attractive major for liberal arts students as well as those who want to specialize in areas such as international issues, development, the environment and remote-sensing GIS. Geography’s body of theory and its methodologies provide ideas and techniques applicable to a wide range of questions about our environment; it also provides both the regional and world perspectives required of responsible citizens."
