<p>Any one know what schools have good Geography programs?</p>
<p>anyone????????</p>
<p>At the Grad. level, I know that Penn State has a good program. My sister got a MA degree and enjoyed the experience.</p>
<p>What sort of geography are you interested in--physical, cultural, etc?</p>
<p>I have applied at all the ivy colleges under earth sciences as well as ucsd... As for geography UC Santa Barbara has a real good program one of the top in the nation, UCLA, UCBerkeley... I live in California so I could only tell you what is here... but as stated previously I believe PENN has a realllllly good one as well.</p>
<p>I think I'm interested in GIS and things of that nature</p>
<p>I'm going to a liberal arts college with a pretty decent geography department. Can I get into GIS and stuff like that from there? Do Geography degrees normally include lots of math and stuff like that?</p>
<p>Dartmouth has an excellent geography department.</p>

1. Introduction to Human Geography</p>
<p>The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of how human societies organize their geographic space and why certain patterns emerge in the resulting human landscape. Principles of location, place, territoriality and geopolitics, migration, gender, economic change, and power are used to examine the geographic distribution of human activity. Geographic comparisons are drawn between North and South, and on global, regional, and local issues.</p>
<p>2. Global Health and Society</p>
<p>Only a few decades ago, we were ready to declare a victory over infectious diseases. Today, infectious diseases are responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality experienced throughout the world. Even developed countries are plagued by resistant "super-bugs" and antibiotic misuse. This course will examine the epidemiology and social impact of past and present infectious disease epidemics in the developing and developed world. The introduction of drugs to treat HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa will be considered from political, ethical, medical, legal and economic%</p>
<p>check out some of the information in this thread:</p>
<p>I'm not so fortunate to go to Swarthmore.</p>
<p>Clark University has a good program.</p>
<p>I believe dartmouth has the only geography department in the ivy league</p>
<p>I'm not sure why my post got cut off there... it looked normal when I posted it. There are more examples on the site, though.</p>
<p>Supposedly Clark University was ranked number 1 in the nation and Ohio State ranked fourth. I have no idea what the rest of the schools in the top 5 are.</p>
