What is the geography program?

A world or physical geography course is highly recommended for any student majoring in history, government, economics and business. Geography involves more than just learning how to read a map legend. These courses provide a unique insight into how geographical formations and climate variations have had on the historical, economic, political, cultural, religious, and social development of societies.
