Designing the Major

Since 1983, 70% of our majors have completed the major program without modification (although a number have completed double or even triple majors, some with multiple theses as well); 22% have modified Geography with a secondary discipline, and 7% have used Geography as a secondary modification to another discipline. The most common secondary modification is with Environmental Studies.
