Human Geography (GEOG 1302)

A Human Geography class provides a unique opportunity to gain a better understanding of the human condition through a spatial lens. In this class, we explore the multifaceted dimensions and interconnections of humanity – from our languages and ethnicities to our religious traditions and economic and agricultural practices – and examine how and why these human elements vary across space and time. The world is a rich tapestry of different people, customs, and traditions. A class in Human Geography will provide you with enhanced knowledge of the patterns and processes that have shaped the human tapestry, and how various populations around the world understand, use, and modify our planet. You will have the opportunity to utilize spatial methods and tools such as maps to build upon your comprehension of this dynamic world around you. Taking a human geography class serves as a window in making the world a more meaningful place.
