Geography
Geography overlaps the traditional boundaries of the physical and social sciences. It is an integrative field of knowledge which deals with the study of the world's physical environment, human-environment relationships, spatial, cultural and economic patterns. Some of the interests of growing importance in geographic studies are as follows: natural resources and environmental management, human-ecological systems, population problems, economic development, regional inequalities and social justice, urban and regional planning.

320-103-MS ( 2-1-3 ) 2 credits
(Introductory Course)
This course provides a comprehensive view of the world through the study of the distinctive traits that characterize the planet's major physical areas, and establishes a relationship between the physical components of geographic space and human population distributions. Hence, major human and physical phenomena are identified, and spatial variation in human populations and their life environments are analysed.
