Definition: What is Geography and GIS?

Geography programs seek to explain the concept of place, whether through maps and computer equipment, scholarly theories of urban development, or a complex study of the way human interaction shapes the environment. It can be studied either in a science or an arts context, but usually contains a mixture of both.

GIS (Geographical Information Systems) programs are technology-rich degrees that give students a grounding in the rapidly advancing field that employs global positioning, remote sensing and computer software to study geography.
