students on Brooklyn Bridge
 

Human geography focuses on the processes that shape human interaction with the environment and on the spatial distribution of human activity on the Earth’s surface.  Human geography plays an important role in addressing sustainable development and civilization.  As a social science, students in this area have the opportunity to study cultural, political, economic, urban, rural, population, historical, and tourism geography.

Graduates within this major will be equipped for a range of jobs in both the public and private sectors, such as urban or rural developer/planner, tourism director, international agency representative, journalist, market analyst, museum education director, teacher, and intelligence analyst.
