Geography
Snow College’s cultural geography program introduces students to the political units, current issues, and basic economic, social, and cultural structures of the various world regions. This program raises students’ awareness of global issues and encourages lifelong engagement in world affairs. Students will have the opportunity to research countries of particular interest to them and reflect on their personal place within the global population.
Apply NowWhile we recommend that geography students earn the Associate of Science (AS), an AA in geography is also available. The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course). Please see your academic advisor for full details.
