Geography

Geography courses weave together the natural and social sciences with the main goal to explore spatial patterns in both the physical and human landscape. Physical geography courses focus on the physical or natural environment including climate, weather, plants, animals, landforms, and water resources while human geography courses explore societies, culture, economies, histories, and  development. The field of geography emphasizes human-environment relationships, making it a unique discipline that can explore the complex web of economic, political, historical and practical approaches to social and environmental issues.
