A general geography major in the Department of Geography allows students to have a mix of courses and majors/minors that are defined by their personal interests. The general geography major is a good liberal arts major—just like history, political science and English—and is an excellent choice for students with broad interests. Often these students choose to go on to graduate school for more specialized studies in law, public health, international studies, or geography teaching.
See the Western Michigan University catalog for required courses.
