GEO 425/625: Industrial Geography
The focus of this course will be learning about industry dynamics and regional change in a globalized world.

FALL SEMESTER

GEO 366/530: Urban Geography
Urban Geography is the study of the spatial structure of urban and metropolitan areas. Among other topics, it includes: (1) a study of the changing form of urban areas over time; (2) the behavior of people that gives rise to particular urban form; (3) the ways in which the internal structure of cities affects behavior and welfare; and, (4) the various ways in which people perceive and interact with their environment.
