Program Summary
Geography is the study of the Earth's landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their surroundings. It is an interdisciplinary subject that combines elements of natural and social sciences to explore physical features, human activities, and spatial patterns. Geography examines landforms, climate, ecosystems, and natural resources while also analyzing human settlements, cultures, economies, and political systems. It helps in understanding how natural and human factors interact to shape the world, influencing issues such as urbanization, environmental sustainability, and globalization. The course involves both theoretical learning and practical applications, including the use of maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and fieldwork. By studying geography, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, gaining insights into global challenges like climate change, natural disasters, and resource management. It provides a broad perspective on the connections between different regions and cultures, preparing students for careers in environmental management, urban planning, international relations, and various other fields.
