Course Information

The current environmental, social and physical climate of our globalized world means that geography matters more today than ever before. Connections you form with other humans, next to you and across the world—for business matters or policy changes—shape societies.

Counteraction to global crises that range from climate change to pandemics, extinction to unforeseen migration, need your expertise. But you know that learning about challenges isn’t enough; we have to take action to solve them.

We are all connected in human geography and through the environment. With an understanding of the relationships that exist between cultures and the physical environment, you see order in what appears to be random. Get ready to work on the puzzle known as Earth.
