Another excellent education abroad option that fulfills the GC Global Experience requirement:
This undergraduate research program (GEOG358C) will help
students learn about the physical and
cultural landscapes, human activities and the interaction among them in
urban China, focusing on using cutting edge Remote Sensing and GIS
technologies in their research. This program is a collaboration
between Maryland's Department of Geographical Sciences and Beijing Normal University's College
of Geography and College of Global Change and Earth System Science, the
leading geography program in China. The objective of this joint
experiential learning
program is to introduce undergraduate students to research methods,
data collection, field work, implementing and testing a methodology, and
the analytical process for advanced research in geography.
Additionally, students of the two countries interacting
with each other have opportunities to learn and understand the
differences and similarities among our two cultures.
Through lectures and
hands on field work, you will learn from professionals in the field of
geography and expand your skill set. Apply now!
Applications are due March 1, 2015. This
non-traditional experiential learning course offered by the Department
of Geographical Sciences could be followed by continuing research in the
Fall 2015.
