Human Geography
Human Geography encompasses the study of human societies and human environments. Understanding and helping to resolve conflicts and crises makes Human Geography an immediately socially-relevant discipline. Human Geographers make an essential contribution to environmental management, urban planning, and the management of social and economic change. A human geography major may be usefully combined with a physical geography major.
