Bachelor [Geography] From Vassar College

All of these are problems of uneven distributions of power and resources, across space and among communities. Geographers analyze how unevenness plays out in places where we live and how the flow of people, ideas, and resources changes the world. We take an integrative perspective on human and environmental systems, both of which help shape the places and problems we care about.

Geographers learn diverse analytical and research skills: ? Field experience helps us understand how theory intersects with the empirical world around us. ? GIS (geographic information systems) and mapping explain relationships among factors such as settlement patterns, resources, climate change impacts, or poverty. ? Theoretical frameworks such as political ecology, world systems, and socio-nature give insights into power relations among places and peoples.

If you are interested in integrative problems of society, environment, policy, and sustainability, Geography provides a place to develop critical reading, writing, and analytical skills to understand these challenges.
