/ Geography courses at St. Norbert College bring the social and natural sciences together to explore how people are affected by the natural world. You’ll sharpen your understanding of local, regional and world dynamics in a way that’s increasingly important in our global society. You’ll also explore how culture, society and even politics are affected by geography and how the physical environment can have a serious impact on the population of an area.
We offer elective courses in geography studies that complement a variety of our other majors in the social sciences, physical sciences and biological sciences. Course examples include: World Regions and Issues, Global Physical Environments and GIS-Social Sciences/Humanities.
“ I studied abroad in Australia. That was incredible. I was there for 4-1/2 months; traveled all over the place; scuba-dove the Great Barrier Reef; did all that fun, cool stuff. It was honestly the experience of a lifetime. It was super easy to transfer my credits back, too.

“ This [AmeriCorps] program looked the most interesting and I really liked the service opportunity and the freedom it offered. So I applied for a team leader role. There are four regions in the United States, and three of them asked to interview me. I think it was really my experience as a resident assistant, as well as falling back on some of St. Norbert’s values of communio and radical hospitality, that helped me come out on top.
