There are two main branches of geography: human geography and physical geography. Human geography is concerned with the spatial aspects of human existence. Physical geographers study patterns of climates, land forms, vegetation, soils, and water. Thus, Geography links the social sciences and natural sciences. Geographers use many tools and techniques in their work, and geographic technologies are increasingly among the most important emerging fields for understanding our complex world. They include Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), online mapping such as Google Earth, statistics, and others. Geographers work in many different areas, such as environmental management, education, disaster response, city and county planning, community development, and more. Geography is an interdisciplinary field that offers diverse career opportunities. In recognition of the importance of these developments, UM Geography emphasizes three major orientations in its M.A. program: environmental analysis, globalization and urban change, and 3) developmental studies. Students have the choice of completing a thesis option or a two paper option. Both the option requires 30 credit hours.
