Geography students at University of Arizona explore the environmental, social, political, and economic processes that shape places and how the places we create in turn shape our lives. Geography’s interdisciplinary nature makes it indispensable for understanding the major challenges facing us in today’s globalized world.
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. Internships are integral to the major, and credit can be earned for internships in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.
Courses include:
- Political and Cultural Geography of Globalization
- World Religions: Comparative & Global Perspectives
- Our Dynamic Landscape
“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”
