Geography for Life

In this course, students will study "the why of the where," exploring how to use geography as a tool to better understand the world in which they live. Learners will evaluate the impact of location, place, movement, region and human-environmental interactions. Emphasis will be placed understanding the human and physical characteristics of places and regions; examining the physical processes and human activities that shape the earth’s surface; and applying geographic knowledge to social and political events in history and the modern world.
