Question

environment and its application to the society​

Answer 1

Answer:

Environment and Society

The Environment and Society specialization within the Geography major provides students with an understanding of the reciprocal relationships between social and environmental processes. Environmental geographers are concerned with how human beings use the earth and how humans impact the environments in which they live. Students study both the social and natural dimensions of environmental issues. This approach provides new ways of explaining and solving environmental problems on the local, national, and global scale. Research and teaching in this area emphasize that the human relationship to the environment can be biological, economic, political, physical, cultural, chemical, or social. Students specializing in Environment and Society will become familiar with relevant theories in human and physical geography, appropriate methods of inquiry, and case studies of environmental challenges. Students will be able to answer the question, why do societies and environments vary from place to place, and how have they come to be as they are?

There is no minimum GPA, required prerequisites, or application required to declare a major in Geography with a specialization in Environment & Society.
