GP 105 - World Regional Geography- Current Issues

Credit Hours: 3

This course gives an introduction to basic geographical concepts and an overview of the geography of the world. It organizes the world into twelve realms (North America, Eastern Europe, Northern Africa, etc) and examines elements of physical, cultural, historical, economic, and political geography within each realm. It examines international relationships within realms and between realms, and how these relationships affect, and are affected by, aspects of cultural, economic, and political geography. The main objectives are to learn to recognize connections between elements of geography in a place, connections between places, and how geographical factors shape the world we see today. A parallel objective is to gain a basic awareness of world geography.
