Geography

As an academic discipline, geography enables us to understand the relationship between ourselves and the world in which we live. The interconnectedness brought about by the forces of globalization make this knowledge increasingly crucial. Human geography uses culture regions, migration and human impact on our surroundings to examine the world at large while physical geography completes the pictures incorporating the role of the earth’s natural forces. In geography we ask questions about our home, the world we live in, how it affects us and how we affect it.

The minor in geography, in keeping with the Department’s commitment to academic excellence, is designed to get the students to think about the connection between human culture and the physical world. Using an inter-disciplinary approach, the geography minor provides a grounding in basic geographic tools, concepts and content and links this knowledge to other disciplines and academic majors.
