的理由:今天, 我们生活在一个相互联系的旅行世界, trade, tourism and high-speed communication that reaches into the most remote corner of the globe. A knowledge of this world beyond our borders is a crucial asset in an age of growing interregional and international relationships. 地理学家使用空间视角来研究这些关系. 在本课程中, 学生不仅学习地理领域和地区的位置, but why they are located where they are and how they connect to the rest of the world. There is a strong interdisciplinary relationship between geography and many of the social and natural sciences. Those students taking this class to fulfill a general-education requirement will gain an enhanced understanding of geography's role across the curriculum, be well prepared to take upper-level courses in geography and related social and natural sciences, 并且更加关注我们称之为家的世界上的地方和问题.
