Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geography (Geographical Information Track)] From University of Wisconsin

The Department of Geography works closely with the Cartography and Geography Information Science Center (CGIS) and the American Geographical Society Library, one of the largest assemblages of geographical materials in the world.

Geography analyzes spatial patterns and regional associations of the physical and cultural environments. It is concerned with human relationships with these environments as they exist now, existed in the past, and may or should exist in the future. This approach means geographers find work in many diverse fields, from environmental management to urban planning, from community development to the park service to GIS project management.

Geographical Information Track

If you take the Geographical Information track, you will specialize in Geographic Information Science (GIS). GIS means working with spatial data, which is useful in many fields, including urban planning, environmental analysis, cartography, retail and real estate, health, and military intelligence.
