Geographers study the relationships between people and their environments. They explore the environmental, social, political and economic processes that shape places and how the places that people create, in turn, shape our lives. The interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts in Geography stands at the crossroads of physical and social sciences; students may focus on specific world landscapes and cultures or on areas such as urban, political, economic or cultural geography, or on human-environment relations. Geography students learn to analyze data and policy in order to address and research critical questions about the world they live in.
