MS Geography

Semester A

In this exploratory course, students will get an overview of both physical and human geography. To start their studies students will define and describe the five themes of geography: location, place, region, human-environment interaction, and movement. The students will explore each of the major regions of the world–the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Asia, and Southern Asia and Oceana—while focusing on these five themes.
