"The purpose of this study is to identify geography as a general education subject, to determine the type of geography which best serves the objectives of general education and to determine the general education value of the present geography courses in the Florida junior colleges. An analysis will be made of the present geography programs in the Florida public junior colleges to determine their orientation. This analysis will be concerned with the development of geography in the curriculum rather than with methods of instruction. A study of the catalogs of the various institutions plus information gathered through questionnaires constitute the main basis of analysis. Taking into consideration the objectives of general education, the objectives of the junior colleges, and the objectives of geography, the writer hopes to offer suggestions and recommendations which will make a useful contribution to the concurrent achievement of these objectives in Florida"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Harry Brubaker, Professor Directing Study. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 36-38).
