Our geotourism track of the geography undergraduate degree is the first of its kind
in the United States and one of only three worldwide. This track focuses on using
principles of sustainability to enhance and emphasize the distinctiveness of a destination
for both residents and visitors. You will learn how to protect tourist destinations
for the benefit of the next generation.
The Green Student Alliance program allows students to engage in peer-to-peer education.
They do not need to have prior knowledge of sustainability, but they must be eager
to learn.
