World Regional Geography

Catalog description

World Regional Geography explores the world around us region by region combining an examination of both environmental and cultural characteristics. The course prepares students to make sense of an increasingly connected world in which global events have local significance. The regions' physical situation along with demographic, linguistic, religious, political, and developmental patterns provide the framework for comparing and contrasting the various world regions. Real world, real time current events specific to individual regions are used to illustrate course concepts. Although open to all students this course was originally designed for Liberal Studies education majors wishing to satisfy requirements for California Multiple Subject Teaching Credentials.
