Through the study of geography, you’ll explore cultural and natural patterns and the relationships between people and the places and spaces in which they live. Geographers investigate reasons to explain "why" cultural and natural patterns exist in particular areas. Geography courses are designed to help you become more aware of the nature and diversity of environments, and cultural practices that impact the world.
