In this required course, students analyze the relationships between people, places, and environments. Students use problem-solving and decision-making skills to ask and answer geographic questions as well as to determine the geographic factors which have influenced past and present events. A significant portion of the course will center around physical processes, places, and regions, the environment, the political, economic and social processes that shape cultural patterns, human systems such as population distribution and urbanization patterns, and the economic conditions which have led to and reinforced the developed and developing world.

Teachers: Janette Conrad, Christine Bradley, Ann Wurst, Angela Charity
