Oh the places you’ll go! Combining the study of people, land and communities is the best part of geography. It is the oldest of all sciences. Physical Geographers study the natural environment as they explore the processes that drive our planetary system, such as weather, climate, geology, and Ice ages. Human geographers study people and how they relate to the natural environment. Geographers explore the world with a ‘spatial’ perspective so as to answer the questions of Where, Why, and How, do people live and interact on our planet. EMCC’s program prepares you for transfer to a four-year program.
