Bachelor of Arts in Geography - Globalization and Development Track

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

Geography analyzes spatial patterns and regional associations of the physical and cultural environments. It is concerned with human relationships with these environments as they exist now, existed in the past, and may or should exist in the future. This approach means geographers find work in many diverse fields, from environmental management to urban planning, from community development to the park service to GIS project management. Geographers who follow the globalization, cultures, and societies track study a wide range of human geographic topics, including social, cultural, political, and economic processes, across regions of the world. This track prepares students for work in jobs with international dimensions, including economic development, nongovernmental agencies, foreign policy, and geographic education.
