It helps explain much of what is going on in the world right now, from climate change and natural disasters to the growth of emerging economies and the impacts of globalization. Our geographers are encouraged to embrace new digital technologies and media in both their class and fi fieldwork, developing the knowledge and practical skills relevant to a wide range of future employer needs. This is a challenging and exciting course. Students will develop and apply their understanding of geographical concepts and processes to interpret our constantly changing world. They will deepen their understanding of the complexity of interactions within and between societies, economies, cultures, and environments at scales from local to global.
